General Introduction
Energy management systems are also important, to ensure safe and reliable operation of the transmission network. Distribution In order to feed local medium-voltage distribution systems of urban, industrial or rural distribution areas, HV/MV main substations are connected to the subtransmission systems. Main substations have to be located next to the MV load center for reasons of economy. Thus, the subtransmission systems of voltage levels up to 145 kV have to penetrate even further into the populated load centers. The far-reaching power distribution system in the load center areas is tailored exclusively to the needs of users with large numbers of appliances, lamps, motor drives, heating, chemical processes, etc. Most of these are connected to the low-voltage level. The structure of the low-voltage distribution system is determined by load and reliability requirements of the consumers, as well as by nature and dimensions of the area to be served. Different consumer characteristics in public, industrial and commercial supply will need different LV network configurations and adequate switchgear and transformer layout. Especially for industrial supply systems with their high number of motors and high costs for supply interruptions, LV switchgear design is of great importance for flexible and reliable operation. Independent from individual supply characteristics in order to avoid uneconomical high losses, however, the substations with the MV/LV transformers should be located as close as possible to the LV load centers. The compact load center substations should be installed right in the industrial production area near to the LV consumers. The superposed medium-voltage system has to be configured to the needs of these substations and the available sources (main substation, generation) and leads again to different solutions for urban or rural public supply, industry and large building centers. In addition distribution management systems can be tailored to the needs, from small to large systems and for specific requirements.

General Introduction
Despite the individual layout of networks, common philosophy should be an utmost simple and clear network design to obtain ■ flexible system operation ■ clear protection coordination ■ short fault clearing time and ■ efficient system automation. The wide range of power requirements for individual consumers from a few kW to some MW, together with the high number of similar network elements, are the main characteristics of the distribution system and the reason for the comparatively high specific costs. Therefore, utmost standardization of equipment and use of maintenance-free components are of decisive importance for economical system layout. Siemens components and systems cater to these requirements based on worldwide experience in transmission and distribution networks. Protection, operation, control and metering Safe, reliable and economical energy supply is also a matter of fast, efficient and reliable system protection, data transmission and processing for system operation. The components required for protection and operation benefit from the rapid development of information and communication technology. Modern digital relays provide extensive possibilities for selective relay setting and protection coordination for fast fault clearing and minimized interruption times. Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) or Substation Automation Systems (SAS) provide the data for the centralized monitoring and control of the power plants and substations by the energy management system. Siemens energy management systems ensure a high supply quality, minimize generation and transmission costs and optimally manage the energy transactions. Modularity and open architecture offer the flexibility needed to cope with changed or new requirements originating e.g. from deregulation or changes in the supply area size. The broad range of applications includes generation control and scheduling, management of transmission and distribution networks, as well as energy trading. Metering devices and systems are important tools for efficiency and economy to survive in the deregulated market. For example, Demand Side Management (DSM) allows an electricity supply utility from a control center to remotely control certain consumers on the supply network for load control purposes. Energy meters are used for measuring the consumption of electricity, gas, heat and water for purposes of billing in the fields of households, commerce, industry and grid metering.

General Introduction
Overall solutions – System planning Of crucial importance for the quality of power transmission and distribution is the integration of diverse components to form overall solutions. Especially in countries where the increase in power consumption is well above the average besides the installation of generating capacity, construction and extension of transmission and distribution systems must be developed simultaneously and together with equipment for protection, supervision, control and metering. Also, for the existing systems, changing load structures, changing requirements due to energy market deregulation and liberalization and/ or environmental regulations, together with the need for replacement of aged equipment will require new installations. Integral power network solutions are far more than just a combination of products and components. Peculiarities in urban development, protection of the countryside and of the environment, and the suitability for expansion and harmonious integration in existing networks are just a few of the factors which future-oriented power system planning must take into account. Outlook The electrical energy supply (generation, transmission and distribution) is like a pyramid based on the number of components and their widespread use. This pyramid rests on a foundation formed by local expansion of the distribution networks and power demand in the overall system, which is determined solely by the consumers and their use of light, power and heat. These basic applications arise in many variations and different intensities throughout the entire private, commercial and industrial sector (Fig. 4). Reliability, safety and quality (i.e. voltage and frequency stability) of the energy supply are therefore absolute essentials and must be assured by the distribution networks and transmission systems.

Energy Needs Intelligent Solutions
The changing state of the world’s energy markets and the need to conserve resources is promoting more intelligent solutions to the distribution of man’s silent servant, electricity. Change is generally wrought by necessity, often driven by a variety of factors, not least social, political, economic, environmental and technological considerations. Currently the world’s energy supply industries – principally gas and electricity – are in the process of undergoing radical and crucial change that is driven by a mixture of all these considerations. The collective name given to the factors affecting the electricity supply industry worldwide is deregulation. This is the changing operating scenario the electricity supply industry as a whole faces as it moves inexorably into the 21st century. How can it rise to the challenge of liberalized markets and the opportunities presented by deregulation? One of the answers is the better use of information technology and “intelligent” control to affect the necessary changes born of deregulation. However, to achieve this utilities need to be very sure of the technical and commercial competence of their systems suppliers. Failure could prove to be very costly not just in financial terms, but also for a utility’s reputation with its consumers in what is becoming increasingly a buyer’s market. Forming and maintaining close partnerships with long-established systems suppliers such as Siemens is the best way of ensuring success with deregulation into the millennium. Siemens can look back on over 100 years of working in close co-operation with power utilities throughout the world. This accumulated experience allows the company’s Power Transmission and Distribution Group to address not just technical issues, but also better appreciate many of the operational and commercial aspects of electricity distribution. Experience gained over the past decade with the many-and-varied aspects of deregulation puts the Group in an almost unique position to advise utilities as to the best solutions for taking full advantage of the opportunities offered by deregulation. Innovation the issue of change Although today’s technology obviously plays a very important role in the company’s current business, innovation has always been at the vanguard of its activities; indeed it is the common thread that has run through the company since its inception 150 years ago. In future power distribution technology, computer software, power electronics and superconductivity will play increasingly prominent roles in innovative solutions. Scope for new technol-
Fig. 5: Superconducting current limiter: lightning fast response
ogies is to be found in decentralized energy supply concepts and in meeting the needs of urban conurbations. Siemens is no longer just a manufacturer of systems and equipment, it is now much more. Overall concepts are becoming ever more important. All change! Power distribution technology has not changed significantly over the past forty years… indeed, the “rules of the game” have remained the same for a much longer period of time. A new challenge Recently decentralized power supply systems have cornered a growing share of the market for a number of reasons. In developing and industrializing countries, it has become clear that the energy policies and systems solutions adopted by nations with well-established energy infrastructures are not always appropriate. Frequently it is more prudent to start with small decentralized power networks and to expand later in a progressive way as demand and economics permit. Much benefit can also be gained if generation makes use of natural or indigenous resources such as the sun, water, wind or biomass. Countries that struggle with population growth and migration to the towns and cities clearly need to pay close attention to protecting their balance of payments. In such cases, the expansion of power supplies into the countryside
is a crucial factor in the economic and social development of a particular country. In the industrialized countries the concept of the “decentralized power supply” is also gaining ground, largely because of environmental concern. This has had its consequences for the generation of electricity: wind power is experiencing a renaissance, more development work is being carried out into photovoltaic devices and combined heat and power cogeneration plants are growing in popularity in many areas for both ecological and economic reasons. These developments are resulting in some entirely new energy network structures. Additional tasks... The scope and purpose of tomorrow’s distribution systems will no longer be to simply “supply electricity”. In future they will be required to “harvest” power and redistribute it more economically and take into account, among other considerations, environmental needs. In the past it was no easy task to supply precisely the right amount of electricity according to demand because, as is well-known, electricity cannot be readily stored and the loads were continually changing. Demand scheduling was very much based on statistical forecasting – not an exact science and one that cannot by its very nature take into account realtime variations. Demand scheduling problems can become particularly acute when power stations of limited generating capacity are on line.

Energy Needs Intelligent Solutions
Nowadays these and similar problems are not insoluble because of decentralized power supplies and the use of “intelligent” control. The Power Transmission and Distribution Group has developed concepts for the economic resolution of peak energy demand. One is to use energy stores. Batteries are an obvious choice, for these can be equipped with power electronics to enhance energy quality as well as storing electricity. Intelligent energy management… One of the options for matching the amount of electricity available to the amount being demanded is, even today, the rarely used technique of load control. Energy saving can mean much more than just consuming as few kilowatt-hours as possible. It can also mean achieving the flexibility of demand that can make a valuable contribution to a country’s economy. Naturally, in places such as hospitals, textile factories and electronic chip fabrication plants it is extremely important for the power supply not to fail – not even for a second. In other areas of electricity consumption, however, there is much more room for manoeuvre. Controlled interruptions of a few minutes, and even a few hours, can often be tolerated without causing very much difficulty to those involved. There are other applications where the time constant or resilience is high, e.g. cold stores and air-conditioning plants, where energy can be stored for periods of up to several hours. Through the application of “intelligent” control and with suitable financial encouragement (usually in the form of flexible tariff rates) there is no doubt that very much more could be made of load control. Improving energy quality… Power electronics systems, for example SIPCON, can help improve energy quality – an increasingly important factor in deregulated energy markets. Energy has now become a product. It has its price and a defined quality. Consumers want a definite quality of energy, but they also produce reaction effects on the system that are detrimental to quality (e.g. harmonics or reactive power). Energy quality first has to be measured and documented, for example with the SIMEAS® family of quality recorders. These measurements are important for price setting, and can serve as the basis for remedial action, such as with active or passive filters. Power electronics development has opened up many new possibilities here, although considerable progress may still be made in this area – a breakthrough in silicon carbide technology, for example.

Fig. 7: GIL
Alternatives… It should be appreciated, however, that decentralized power supplies are not a panacea. For those places where energy density requirements are high, large power stations are still the answer, and especially when they can supply district heating. Theoretically, it should still be possible to employ conventional technology to transport very large amounts of electricity to the megacities of the 21st Century. Even if the use of overhead power lines was not an option, due to say there being insufficient space or

resistance from people living nearby, it would be possible to use gas-insulated lines (GIL), an economical alternative investigated by Siemens. The development aim of reducing costs has meanwhile been attained here, and costeffective applications involving distances of serveral kilometres are therefore possible. The system costs for the gas-insulated transmission lines (GIL) developed by Siemens exceed those of overhead lines only by about a factor of 10.

This has been achieved by laying the tubular conductor using methods similar to those employed with pipelines. Savings were also made by simplifying and standardizing the individual components and by using a gas mixture consisting of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) and nitrogen (N2). The advantages of this new technology are low resistive and capacitive losses. The electric field outside of the enclosure is zero, and the magnetic field is negligibly small. No cooling and no phase angle compensation are required. GILs are not a fire hazard and are simple to repair.
ers are demanding a more reasonable return on their investment. Deregulation generally means privatization; profit orientation is therefore clearly going to take over from concern with cost. In addition this means that competition will inevitably produce some concessions in the price of electricity, which will increase the pressure on energy suppliers. Many power supply companies are striving to introduce additional energy services, thereby making the pure price of energy not the only yardstick their customers apply when deciding how to make their purchases.
Energy trade The new “rules of the game” that are being introduced in power supply business everywhere are demanding more capability from utility IT systems, especially in areas such as energy trading. Siemens has been in the fortunate position of being able to accumulate early practical experience in this field in markets where deregulation is being introduced very quickly – such as the United Kingdom, Scandinavia and the USA – and so is now able to offer sophisticated systems and expertise with which utilities can get to grips with the demands of the new commercial environment. In the past it was always security of supply that took the highest priority for a utility. Now, however, although it remains an important subject, more and more sharehold-
Siemens – the energy systems house Siemens is offering solutions to the problems that are governed by the new “rules of the game”. The company possesses considerable expertise, mainly because it is a global player, but also because it covers the total spectrum of products necessary for the efficient transmission and distribution of electricity. As with other Groups within the company, Power Transmission and Distribution no longer regards itself as simply a purveyor of hardware. In future Siemens will be more of a provider of services and total solutions. This will mean embracing many new disciplines and skills, not least financial control and complete project management. One of the reasons is that in future “BOT” (Build, Operate & Transfer) compa-
nies and independent operating utilities will no longer confine their activities to just energy production; they will be expected to become increasingly involved in energy distribution too. Potential for the future The ongoing development of high-temperature superconductors will doubtless enable much to be achieved. Major operational innovations will, nonetheless, come from the more pervasive use of communications and data systems – two areas of technology where innovations can be seen every 18 months. Consequently, it will be from these areas that the enabling impetus for significant advances in power engineering will come.

High-voltage substations form an important link in the power transmission chain between generation source and consumer. Two basic designs are possible: Air-insulated outdoor switchgear of open design (AIS) AIS are favorably priced high-voltage substations for rated voltages up to 800 kV which are popular wherever space restrictions and environmental circumstances do not have to be considered. The individual electrical and mechanical components of an AIS installation are assembled on site. Air-insulated outdoor substations of open design are not completely safe to touch and are directly exposed to the effects of weather and the environment (Fig. 1).
Fig. 1: Outdoor switchgear
Gas-insulated indoor or outdoor switchgear (GIS) GIS compact dimensions and design make it possible to install substations up to 550 kV right in the middle of load centers of urban or industrial areas. Each circuitbreaker bay is factory assembled and includes the full complement of isolator switches, grounding switches (regular or make-proof), instrument transformers, control and protection equipment, interlocking and monitoring facilities commonly used for this type of installation. The earthed metal enclosures of GIS assure not only insensitivity to contamination but also safety from electric shock (Fig. 2). Gas-insulated transmission lines (GIL) A special application of gas-insulated equipment are gas-insulated transmission lines (GIL). They are used where high-voltage overhead lines are not suitable for any reason. GIL have a high power transmission capability, even when laid underground, low resistive and capacitive losses and low electromagnetic fields.

The High Voltage Division plans and constructs individual high-voltage switchgear installations or complete transformer substations, comprising high-voltage switchgear, medium-voltage switchgear, major components such as transformers, and all ancillary equipment such as auxiliaries, control systems, protective equipment, etc., on a turnkey basis or even as general contractor. The spectrum of installations supplied ranges from basic substations with single busbar to regional transformer substations with multiple busbars or 1 1/2 circuit-breaker arrangement for rated voltages up to 800 kV, rated currents up to 8000 A and short-circuit currents up to 100 kA, all over the world. The services offered range from system planning to commissioning and after-sales service, including training of customer personnel. The process of handling such an installation starts with preparation of a quotation, and proceeds through clarification of the order, design, manufacture, supply and cost-accounting until the project is finally billed. Processing such an order hinges on methodical data processing that in turn contributes to systematic project handling. All these high-voltage installations have in common their high-standard of engineering, which covers power systems, steel structures, civil engineering, fire precautions, environmental protection and control systems (Fig. 3). Every aspect of technology and each work stage is handled by experienced engineers. With the aid of high-performance computer programs, e.g. the finite element method (FEM), installations can be reliably designed even for extreme stresses, such as those encountered in earthquake zones. All planning documentation is produced on modern CAD systems; data exchange with other CAD systems is possible via standardized interfaces. By virtue of their active involvement in national and international associations and standardization bodies, our engineers are

Air-insulated outdoor substations of open design must not be touched. Therefore, air-insulated switchgear (AIS) is always set up in the form of a fenced-in electrical operating area, to which only authorized persons have access. Relevant IEC 60060 specifications apply to outdoor switchgear equipment. Insulation coordination, including minimum phaseto-phase and phase-to-ground clearances, is effected in accordance with IEC 60071. Outdoor switchgear is directly exposed to the effects of the environment such as the weather. Therefore it has to be designed based on not only electrical but also environmental specifications. Currently there is no international standard covering the setup of air-insulated outdoor substations of open design. Siemens designs AIS in accordance with DIN/VDE standards, in line with national standards or customer specifications. The German standard DIN VDE 0101 (erection of power installations with rated voltages above 1 kV) demonstrates typically the protective measures and stresses that have to be taken into consideration for airinsulated switchgear. Protective measures

Protective measures against direct contact, i. e. protection in the form of covering, obstruction or clearance and appropriately positioned protective devices and minimum heights. Protective measures against indirect touching by means of relevant grounding measures in accordance with DIN VDE 0141. Protective measures during work on equipment, i.e. during installation must be planned such that the specifications of DIN EN 50110 (VDE 0105) (e.g. 5 safety rules) are complied with ■ Protective measures during operation, e.g. use of switchgear interlock equipment ■ Protective measures against voltage surges and lightning strike ■ Protective measures against fire, water and, if applicable, noise insulation.

Stresses ■ Electrical stresses, e.g. rated current, short-circuit current, adequate creepage distances and clearances ■ Mechanical stresses (normal stressing), e.g. weight, static and dynamic loads, ice, wind ■ Mechanical stresses (exceptional stresses), e.g. weight and constant loads in simultaneous combination with maximum switching forces or shortcircuit forces, etc. ■ Special stresses, e.g. caused by installation altitudes of more than 1000 m above sea level, or earthquakes
Variables affecting switchgear installation Switchgear design is significantly influenced by: ■ Minimum clearances (depending on rated voltages) between various active parts and between active parts and earth ■ Arrangement of conductors ■ Rated and short-circuit currents ■ Clarity for operating staff ■ Availability during maintenance work, redundancy ■ Availability of land and topography ■ Type and arrangement of the busbar disconnectors The design of a substation determines its accessibility, availability and clarity. The design must therefore be coordinated in close cooperation with the customer. The following basic principles apply: Accessibility and availability increase with the number of busbars. At the same time, however, clarity decreases. Installations involving single busbars require minimum investment, but they offer only limited flexibility for operation management and maintenance. Designs involving 1 1/2 and 2 circuit-breaker arrangements assure a high redundancy, but they also entail the highest costs. Systems with auxiliary or bypass busbars have proved to be economical. The circuit-breaker of the coupling feeder for the auxiliary bus allows uninterrupted replacement of each feeder circuit-breaker. For busbars and feeder lines, mostly wire conductors and aluminum are used. Multiple conductors are required where currents are high. Owing to the additional shortcircuit forces between the subconductors (pinch effect), however, multiple conductors cause higher mechanical stressing at the tension points. When wire conductors, particularly multiple conductors, are used higher short-circuit currents cause a rise not only in the aforementioned pinch effect but in further force maxima in the event of swinging and dropping of the conductor bundle (cable pull). This in turn results in higher mechanical stresses on the switchgear components. These effects can be calculated in an FEM (Finite Element Method) simulation (Fig. 4).
Siemens Power Engineering Guide · Transmission and Distribution · 4th Edition
Design of Air-Insulated Outdoor Substations
When rated and short-circuit currents are high, aluminum tubes are increasingly used to replace wire conductors for busbars and feeder lines. They can handle rated currents up to 8000 A and short-circuit currents up to 80 kA without difficulty. Not only the availability of land, but also the lie of the land, the accessibility and location of incoming and outgoing overhead lines together with the number of transformers and voltage levels considerably influence the switchgear design as well. A one or two-line arrangement, and possibly a U arrangement, may be the proper solution. Each outdoor switchgear installation, especially for step-up substations in connection with power stations and large transformer substations in the extra-highvoltage transmission system, is therefore unique, depending on the local conditions. HV/MV transformer substations of the distribution system, with repeatedly used equipment and a scheme of one incoming and one outgoing line as well as two transformers together with medium-voltage switchgear and auxiliary equipment, are more subject to a standardized design from the individual power supply companies.

H arrangement The H arrangement (Fig. 5) is preferrably used in applications for feeding industrial consumers. Two overhead lines are connected with two transformers and interlinked by a single-bus coupler. Thus each feeder of the switchgear can be maintained without disturbance of the other feeders. This arrangement assures a high availability.

4 Special layouts for single busbars up to 145 kV with withdrawable circuit-breaker and modular switchbay arrangement Further to the H arrangement that is built in many variants, there are also designs with withdrawable circuit-breakers and modular switchbays for this voltage range.

General For 123/145 kV substations with single busbar system a suitable alternative is the withdrawable circuit-breaker. In this kind of switchgear busbar- and outgoing disconnector become inapplicable (switchgear
without disconnectors). The isolating distance is reached with the moving of the circuit-breaker along the rails, similar to the well-known withdrawable-unit design technique of medium-voltage switchgear. In disconnected position busbar, circuit-breaker and outgoing circuit are separated from each other by a good visible isolating dis-

tance. An electromechanical motive unit ensures the uninterrupted constant moving motion to both end positions. The circuitbreaker can only be operated if one of the end positions has been reached. Movement with switched-on circuit-breaker is impossible. Incorrect movement, which would be equivalent to operating a disconnector under load, is interlocked. In the event of possible malfunction of the position switch, or of interruptions to travel between disconnected position and operating position, the operation of the circuitbreaker is stopped. The space required for the switchgear is reduced considerably. Due to the arrangement of the instrument transformers on the common steel frame a reduction in the required space up to about 45% in comparison to the conventional switchgear section is achieved. Description A common steel frame forms the base for all components necessary for reliable operation. The withdrawable circuit-breaker contains: ■ Circuit-breaker type 3AP1F ■ Electromechanical motive unit ■ Measuring transformer for protection and measuring purposes ■ Local control cubicle All systems are preassembled as far as possible. Therefore the withdrawable CB can be installed quite easily and efficiently on site. The advantages at a glance ■ Complete system and therefore lower costs for coordination and adaptation. ■ A reduction in required space by about 45% compared with conventional switchbays ■ Clear wiring and cabling arrangement ■ Clear circuit state ■ Use as an indoor switchbay is also possible.

Design of Air-Insulated Outdoor Substations
Description A common steel frame forms the base for all components necessary for a reliable operation. The modul contains: ■ Circuit-breaker type 3AP1F ■ Motor-operated disconnecting device ■ Current transformer for protection and measuring purposes ■ Local control cubicle All systems are preassembled as far as possible. Therefore the module can be installed quite easily and efficiently on site.
Modular switchbay
General As an alternative to conventional substations an air-insulated modular switchbay can often be used for common layouts. In this case the functions of several HV devices are combined with each other. This makes it possible to offer a standardized module. Appropriate conventional air-insulated switchbays consist of separately mounted HV devices (for example circuit-breaker, disconnector, earthing switches, transformers), which are connected to each other by conductors/tubes. Every device needs its own foundations, steel structures, earthing connections, primary and secondary terminals (secondary cable routes etc.).
The advantages at a glance ■ Complete system and therefore lower costs for coordination and adaptation. ■ Thanks to the integrated control cubicle, upgrading of the control room is scarecely necessary. ■ A modular switchbay can be inserted very quickly in case of total breakdown or for temporary use during reconstruction. ■ A reduction in required space by about 50% compared with conventional switchbays is achieved by virtue of the compact and tested design of the module (Fig. 8). ■ The application as an indoor switchbay is possible.

In-line longitudinal layout, with rotary disconnectors, preferable up to 170 kV The busbar disconnectors are lined up one behind the other and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the busbar. It is preferable to have either wire-type or tubular busbars located at the top of the feeder conductors. Where tubular busbars are used, gantries are required for the outgoing overhead lines only. The system design requires only two conductor levels and is therefore clear. If, in the case of duplicate busbars, the second busbar is arranged in U form relative to the first busbar, it is possible to arrange feeders going out on both sides of the busbar without a third conductor level (Fig. 10).

Central tower layout with rotary disconnectors, normally only for 245 kV The busbar disconnectors are arranged side by side and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the feeder. Wire-type busbars located at the top are commonly used; tubular busbars are also conceivable. This arrangement enables the conductors to be easliy jumpered over the circuit-breakers and the bay width to be made smaller than that of in-line designs. With three conductor levels the system is relatively clear, but the cost of the gantries is high (Fig. 11).

1 1/2 circuit-breaker layout, preferable up to 245 kV
Planning principles 1
The 1 1/2 circuit-breaker arrangement assures high supply reliability; however, expenditure for equipment is high as well. The busbar disconnectors are of the pantograph, rotary and vertical-break type. Vertical-break disconnectors are preferred for the feeders. The busbars located at the top can be of wire or tubular type. Of advantage are the equipment connections, which are very short and enable (even in the case of multiple conductors) high short-circuit currents to be mastered. Two arrangements are customary: ■ External busbar, feeders in line with three conductor levels ■ Internal busbar, feeders in H arrangement with two conductor levels (Fig. 13).
For air-insulated outdoor substations of open design, the following planning principles must be taken into account: ■ High reliability – Reliable mastering of normal and exceptional stresses – Protection against surges and lightning strikes – Protection against surges directly on the equipment concerned (e.g. transformer, HV cable)

Circuit-breaker for air-insulated switchgear Circuit-breakers are the main module of both AIS and GIS switchgear. They have to meet high requirements in terms of: ■ Reliable opening and closing ■ Consistent quenching performance with rated and short-circuit currents even after many switching operations ■ High-performance, reliable maintenancefree operating mechanisms. Technology reflecting the latest state of the art and years of operating experience are put to use in constant further development and optimization of Siemens circuitbreakers. This makes Siemens circuitbreakers able to meet all the demands placed on high-voltage switchgear. The comprehensive quality system, ISO 9001 certified, covers development, manufacture, sales, installation and aftersales service. Test laboratories are accredited to EN 45001 and PEHLA/STL.

Each circuit-breaker bay for gas-insulated switchgear includes the full complement of isolator switches, grounding switches (regular or proven), instrument transformers, control and protection equipment, interlocking and monitoring facilities commonly used for this type of installation (See chapter GIS, page 2/30 and following). Circuit-breakers for air-insulated switchgear are individual components and are assembled together with all individual electrical and mechanical components of an AIS installation on site. All Siemens circuit-breaker types, whether air or gas-insulated, are made up of the same range of components, i.e.: ■ Interrupter unit ■ Operating mechanism ■ Sealing system ■ Operating rod ■ Control elements.

Circuit-Breakers for 72 kV up to 800 kV
Interrupter unit – two arc-quenching principles The Siemens product range includes highvoltage circuit-breakers with self-compression interrupter chambers and twin-nozzle interrupter chambers – for optimum switching performance under every operating condition for every voltage level. Self-compression breakers 3AP high-voltage circuit-breakers for the lower voltage range ensure optimum use of the thermal energy of the arc in the contact tube. This is achieved by the selfcompression switching unit. Siemens patented this arc-quenching principle in 1973. Since then, we have continued to develop the technology of the selfcompression interrupter chamber. One of the technical innovations is that the arc energy is being increasingly used to quench the arc. In short-circuit breaking operations the actuating energy required is reduced to that needed for mechanical contact movement. That means the operating energy is truly minimized. The result is that the selfcompression interrupter chamber allows the use of a compact stored-energy spring mechanism with unrestrictedly high dependability. Twin-nozzle breakers On the 3AQ and 3AT switching devices, a contact system with graphite twin-nozzles ensures consistent arc-quenching behavior and constant electric strength, irrespective of pre-stressing, i.e. the number of breaks and the switched current. The graphite twin-nozzles are resistant to burning and thus have a very long service life. As a consequence, the interrupter unit of the twin-nozzle breaker is particularly powerful. Moreover, this type of interrupter chamber offers other essential advantages. Generally, twin-nozzle interrupter chambers operate with low overpressures during arcquenching. Minimal actuating energy is adequate in this operating system as well. The resulting arc plasma has a comparatively low conductivity, and the switching capacity is additionally favourably influenced as a result.
The twin-nozzle system has also proven itself in special applications. Its specific properties support switching without restriking of small inductive and capacitive currents. By virtue of its high arc resistance, the twin-nozzle system is particularly suitable for breaking certain types of short circuit (e.g. short circuits close to generator terminals) on account of its high arc resistance.
Specific use of the electrohydraulic mechanism
Operating mechanism – two principles for all specific requirements
Advantages of the electrohydraulic mechanism at a glance:
The operating mechanism is a central module of the high-voltage circuit-breakers. Two different mechanism types are available for Siemens circuit-breakers: ■ Stored-energy spring actuated mechanism, ■ Electrohydraulic mechanism, depending on the area of application and voltage level, thus every time ensuring the best system of actuation. The advantages are trouble-free, economical and reliable circuit-breaker operation for all specific requirements. Specific use of the stored-energy spring mechanism The actuation concept of the 3AP high-voltage circuit-breaker is based on the storedenergy spring principle. The use of such an operating mechanism in the lower voltage range became appropriate as a result of development of a self-compression interrupter chamber that requires only minimal actuation energy.
The actuating energy required for the 3AQ and 3AT high-voltage circuit-breakers at higher voltage levels is provided by proven electrohydraulic mechanisms. The interrupter chambers of these switching devices are based on the graphite twin-nozzle system.
■ Electrohydraulic mechanisms provide the
high actuating energy that makes it possible to have reliable control even over very high switching capacities and to be in full command of very high loads in the shortest switching time. ■ The switch positions are held safely even in the event of an auxiliary power failure. ■ A number of autoreclosing operations are possible without the need for recharging. ■ Energy reserves can be reliably controlled at any time. ■ Electrohydraulic mechanisms are maintenance-free, economical and have a long service life. ■ They satisfy the most stringent requirements regarding environmental safety. This has been proven by electrohydraulic mechanisms in Siemens high-voltage circuit-breakers over many years of service.

■ The stored-energy spring mechanism of-
fers the highest degree of operational safety. It is of simple and sturdy design – with few moving parts. Due to the self-compression principle of the interrupter chamber, only low actuating forces are required. ■ Stored-energy spring mechanisms are readily available and have a long service life: Minimal stressing of the latch mechanisms and rolling-contact bearings in the operating mechanism ensure reliable and wear-free transmission of forces. ■ Stored-energy spring mechanisms are maintenance-free: the spring charging gear is fitted with wear-free spur gears, enabling load-free decoupling.

Major features:
During the opening process, the main contact (4) opens first and the current commutates on the still closed arcing contact. If this contact is subsequently opened, an arc is drawn between the contacts (5). At the same time, the contact cylinder (6) moves into the base (7) and compresses the quenching gas there. The gas then flows in the reverse direction through the contact cylinder (6) towards the arcing contact (5) and quenches the arc there.

Breaking operating currents
In the event of high short-circuit currents, the quenching gas on the arcing contact is heated substantially by the energy of the arc. This leads to a rise in pressure in the contact cylinder. In this case the energy for creation of the required quenching pressure does not have to be produced by the operating mechanism. Subsequently, the fixed arcing contact releases the outflow through the nozzle (3). The gas flows out of the contact cylinder back into the nozzle and quenches the arc.

Spring-stored energy type Siemens circuit-breakers for voltages up to 245 kV are equipped with spring-stored energy operating mechanisms. These drives are based on the same principle that has been proving its worth in Siemens low and medium-voltage circuit-breakers for decades. The design is simple and robust with few moving parts and a vibration-isolated latch system of highest reliability. All components of the operating mechanism, the control and monitoring equipment and all terminal blocks are arranged compact and yet clear in one cabinet. Depending on the design of the operating mechanism, the energy required for switching is provided by individual compression springs (i.e. one per pole) or by springs that function jointly on a triple-pole basis. The principle of the operating mechanism with charging gear and latching is identical on all types. The differences between mechanism types are in the number, size and arrangement of the opening and closing springs.

The fixed tubes (2) are connected by the contact tube (3) when the breaker is closed. The contact tube (3) is rigidly coupled to the blast cylinder (4), the two together with a fixed annular piston (5) in between forming the moving part of the break chamber. The moving part is driven by an operating rod (8) to the effect that the SF6 pressure between the piston (5) and the blast cylinder (4) increases. When the contacts separate, the moving contact tube (3), which acts as a shutoff valve, releases the SF6. An arc is drawn between one nozzle (6) and the contact tube (3). It is driven in a matter of milliseconds between the nozzles (6) by the gas jet and its own electrodynamic forces and is safely extinguished. The blast cylinder (4) encloses the arcquenching arrangement like a pressure chamber. The compressed SF6 flows radially into the break by the shortest route and is discharged axially through the nozzles (6). After arc extinction, the contact tube (3) moves into the open position. In the final position, handling of test voltages in accordance with IEC 60000 and ANSI is fully assured, even after a number of short-circuit switching operations.

The operating mechanism Electrohydraulic type All hydraulically operated Siemens circuitbreakers have a uniform operating mechanism concept. Identical operating mechanisms (modules) are used for single or triple-pole switching of outdoor circuitbreakers. The electrohydraulic operating mechanisms have proved their worth all over the world. The power reserves are ample, the switching speed is high and the storage capacity substantial. The working capacity is indicated by the permanent self-monitoring system. The force required to move the piston and piston rod is provided by differential oil pressure inside a sealed system. A hydraulic storage cylinder filled with compressed nitrogen provides the necessary energy. Electromagnetic valves control the oil flow between the high and low-pressure side in the form of a closed circuit.
■ Tripping:
The hydraulic valve is changed over electromagnetically, thus relieving the larger piston surface of pressure and causing the piston to move onto the OFF position. The breaker is ready for instant operation because the smaller piston surface is under constant pressure. Two electrically separate tripping circuits are available for changing the valve over for tripping.

The hydraulic valve is opened by electromagnetic means. Pressure from the hydraulic storage cylinder is thereby applied to the piston with two different surface areas. The breaker is closed via couplers and operating rods moved by the force which acts on the larger surface of the piston. The operating mechanism is designed to ensure that, in the event of a pressure loss, the breaker remains in the particular position.

Dead-Tank Circuit-Breakers for 72 kV up to 245 kV
Subtransmission breaker Type SPS-2 and 3AP1-DT Type SPS-2 power circuit-breakers (Fig. 29a/b) are designed as general, definite-purpose breakers for use at maximum rated voltages of 72.5 and 245 kV. The construction The type SPS-2 breaker consists of three identical pole units mounted on a common support frame. The opening and closing force of the FA2/4 spring operating mechanism is transferred to the moving contacts of the interrupter through a system of connecting rods and a rotating seal at the side of each phase. The tanks and the porcelain bushings are charged with SF6 gas at a nominal pressure of 6.0 bar. The SF6 serves as both insulation and arc-quenching medium. A control cabinet mounted at one end of the breaker houses the spring operating mechanism and breaker control components. Interrupters are located in the aluminum housings of each pole unit. The interrupters use the latest Siemens puffer arcquenching system. The spring operating mechanism is the same design as used with the Siemens 3AP breakers. This design has been in service for years, and has a well documented reliability record. Customers can specify up to four (in some cases, up to six) bushing-type current transformers (CT) per phase. These CTs, mounted externally on the aluminum housings, can be removed without disturbing the bushings.
Operating mechanism
Included in the control cabinet are necessary auxiliary switches, cutoff switch, latch check switch, alarm switch and operation counter. The control relays and three control knife switches (one each for the control, heater and motor) are mounted on a control panel. Terminal blocks on the side and rear of the housing are available for control and transformer wiring. For non US markets the control cabinet is also available similar to the 3AP cabinet (3AP1-DT).
The type FA2/4 mechanically and electrically trip-free spring mechanism is used on type SPS-2 breakers. The type FA2/4 closing and opening springs hold a charge for storing ”open-close-open“ operations A weatherproof control cabinet has a large door, sealed with rubber gaskets, for easy access during inspection and maintenance. Condensation is prevented by units offering continuous inside/outside temperature differential and by ventilation.

The 3AT2/3-DT is available with bushings made from composite insulators – this has many practical advantages. The SIMOTEC® composite insulators manufactured by Siemens consist of a basic body made of epoxy resin reinforced glass fibre tubes. The external tube surface is coated with vulcanized silicon. As is the case with porcelain insulators, the external shape of the insulator has a multished profile. Field grading is implemented by means of a specially shaped screening electrode in the lower part of the composite insulator. The bushings and the metal tank of the circuit-breaker surround a common gas volume. The composite insulator used on the bushing of the 3AT2/3-DT is a onepiece insulating unit. Compared with conventional housings, composite insulators offer a wide range of advantages in terms of economy, efficiency and safety.
Hydraulic drive
For further information please contact:
The operating energy required for the 3AT2/3-DT interrupters is provided by the hydraulic drive, which is manufactured inhouse by Siemens. The functional principle of the hydraulic drive constitutes a technically clear solution which offers certain fundamental advantages. Hydraulic drives provide high amounts of energy economically and reliably. In this way, even the most demanding switching requirements can be mastered in short opening times. Siemens hydraulic drives are maintenancefree and have a particulary long operating life. They meet the strictest criteria for enviromental acceptability. In this respect, too, Siemens hydraulic drives have proven themselves throughout years of operation.

Surge Arresters
Nonlinear resistors
Introduction 1

The main task of an arrester is to protect equipment from the effects of overvoltages. During normal operation, it should have no negative effect on the power system. Moreover, the arrester must be able to withstand typical surges without incurring any damage. Nonlinear resistors with the following properties fulfill these requirements: ■ Low resistance during surges so that overvoltages are limited ■ High resistance during normal operation, so as to avoid negative effects on the power system and ■ Sufficient energy absorption capability for stable operation With this kind of nonlinear resistor, there is only a small flow of current when continuous operating voltage is being applied. When there are surges, however, excess energy can be quickly removed from the power system by a high discharge current.

Nonlinear resistors, comprising metal oxide (MO), have proved especially suitable for this. The nonlinearity of MO resistors is considerably high. For this reason, MO arresters, as the arresters with MO resistors are known today, do not need series gaps. Siemens has many years of experience with arresters – with the previous gapped SiC-arresters and the new gapless MO arresters – in low-voltage systems, distribution systems and transmission systems. They are usually used for protecting transformers, generators, motors, capacitors, traction vehicles, cables and substations. There are special applications such as the protection of ■ Equipment in areas subject to earthquakes or heavy pollution ■ Surge-sensitive motors and dry-type transformers ■ Generators in power stations with arresters which posses a high degree of short-circuit current strength ■ Gas-insulated high-voltage metalenclosed switchgear (GIS) ■ Thyristors in HVDC transmission installations ■ Static compensators ■ Airport lighting systems ■ Electric smelting furnaces in the glass and metals industries ■ High-voltage cable sheaths ■ Test laboratory apparatus.
MO arresters are used in medium, high and extra-high-voltage power systems. Here, the very low protection level and the high energy absorption capability provided during switching surges are especially important. For high voltage levels, the simple construction of MO arresters is always an advantage. Another very important advantage of MO arresters is their high degree of reliability when used in areas with a problematic climate, for example in coastal and desert areas, or regions affected by heavy industrial air pollution. Furthermore, some special applications have become possible only with the introduction of MO arresters. One instance is the protection of capacitor banks in series reactive-power compensation equipment which requires extremly high energy absorption capabilities. Arresters with polymer housings Fig. 34 shows two Siemens MO arresters with different types of housing. In addition to what has been usual up to now – the porcelain housing – Siemens offers also the latest generation of high-voltage surge arresters with polymer housing.

Surge Arresters
Fig. 35 shows the sectional view of such an arrester. The housing consists of a fiberglass-reinforced plastic tube with insulating sheds made of silicon rubber. The advantages of this design which has the same pressure relief device as an arrester with porcelain housing are absolutely safe and reliable pressure relief characteristics, high mechanical strength even after pressure relief and excellent pollution-resistant properties. The very good mechanical features mean that Siemens arresters with polymer housing (type 3EQ/R) can serve as post insulators as well. The pollution-resistant properties are the result of the water-repellent effect (hydrophobicity) of the silicon rubber, which even transfers its effects to pollution.
The polymer-housed high-voltage arrester design chosen by Siemens and the highquality materials used by Siemens provide a whole series of advantages including long life and suitability for outdoor use, high mechanical stability and ease of disposal. Another important design shown in Fig. 36 are the gas-insulated metal-enclosed surge arresters (GIS arresters) which have been made by Siemens for more then 25 years. There are two reasons why, when GIS arresters are used with gas-insulated switchgear, they usually offer a higher protective safety margin than when outdoor-type arresters are used (see also IEC 60099-5, 1996-02, Section 4.3.2.2.): Firstly, they can be installed closer to the item to be protected so that traveling wave effects can
be limited more effectively. Secondly, compared with the outdoor type, inductance of the installation is lower (both that of the connecting conductors and that of the arrester itself). This means that the protection offered by GIS arresters is much better than by any other method, especially in the case of surges with a very steep rate of rise or high frequency, to which gas-insulated switchgear is exceptionally sensitive. Please find an overview of the complete range of Siemens arresters in Figs. 37 and 38, pages 26 and 27.

Gas-Insulated Switchgear for Substations
Introduction 1

Common characteristic features of switchgear installation Because of its small size and outstanding compatibility with the environment, SF6 insulated switchgear (GIS) is gaining constantly on other types. Siemens has been a leader in this sector from the very start. The concept of SF6 - insulated metal-enclosed high-voltage switchgear has proved itself in more than 70,000 bay operating years in over 6,000 installations in all parts of the world. It offers the following outstanding advantages.
Protection of the environment The necessity to protect the environment often makes it difficult to erect outdoor switchgear of conventional design, whereas buildings containing compact SF6-insulated switchgear can almost always be designed so that they blend well with the surroundings. SF6-insulated metal-enclosed switchgear is, due to the modular system, very flexible and can meet all requirements of configuration given by network design and operating conditions.
Each circuit-breaker bay includes the full complement of disconnecting and grounding switches (regular or make-proof), instrument transformers, control and protection equipment, interlocking and monitoring facilities commonly used for this type of installation (Fig. 39). Beside the conventional circuit-breaker bay, other arrangements can be supplied such as single-bus, ring cable with load-break switches and circuit-breakers, single-bus arrangement with bypass-bus, coupler and bay for triplicate bus. Combined circuitbreaker and load-break switch feeder, ring cable with load-break switches, etc. are furthermore available for the 145 kV level.

The availability and price of land play an important part in selecting the type of switchgear to be used. Siting problems arise in ■ Large towns ■ Industrial conurbations ■ Mountainous regions with narrow valleys ■ Underground power stations In cases such as these, SF6-insulated switchgear is replacing conventional switchgear because of its very small space requirements. Full protection against contact with live parts

Its metal enclosure fully protects the switchgear interior against environmental effects such as salt deposits in coastal regions, industrial vapors and precipitates, as well as sandstorms. The compact switchgear can be installed in buildings of uncomplicated design in order to minimize the cost of cleaning and inspection and to make necessary repairs independent of weather conditions. Free choice of installation site The small site area required for SF6-insulated switchgear saves expensive grading and foundation work, e.g. in permafrost zones. Other advantages are the short erection times and the fact that switchgear installed indoors can be serviced regardless of the climate or the weather.

SF6-insulated switchgear up to 145 kV, type 8DN8 Three-phase enclosures are used for type 8DN8 switchgear in order to achieve extremely low component dimensions. The low bay weight ensures minimal floorloading and eliminates the need for complex foundations. Its compact dimensions and low weight enable it to be installed almost anywhere. This means that capital costs can be reduced by using smaller buildings, or by making use of existing ones, for instance when medium voltage switchgear is replaced by 145 kV GIS. The bay ist based on a circuit-breaker mounted on a supporting frame (Fig. 41). A special multifunctional cross-coupling module combines the functions of the disconnector and earthing switch in a threeposition switching device. It can be used as ■ an active busbar with integrated disconnector and work-in-progress earthing switch (Fig. 41/Pos. 3 and 4), ■ outgoing feeder module with integrated disconnector and work-in-progress earthing switch (Fig. 41/Pos. 5), ■ busbar sectionalizer with busbar earthing. For cable termination, a cable termination module can be equipped with either conventional sealing ends or the latest plug-in connectors (Fig. 41/Pos. 9). Flexible singlepole modules are used to connect overhead lines and transformers by using a splitting module which links the 3-phase encapsulated switchgear to the single pole connections. Thanks to the compact design, up to three completely assembled and works-tested bays can be shipped as one transport unit. Fast erection and commissioning on site ensure the highest possible quality. The feeder control and protection can be located in a bay-integrated local control cubicle, mounted in the front of each bay (Fig. 42). It goes without saying that we supply our gas-insulated switchgear with all types of currently available bay control systems – ranging from contactor circuit controls to digital processor bus-capable bay control systems, for example the modern SICAM HV system based on serial bus communication. This system offers ■ Online diagnosis and trend analysis enabling early warning, fault recognition and condition monitoring. ■ Individual parameterization, ensuring the best possible incorporation of customized control facilities. ■ Use of modern current and voltage sensors. This results in a longer service life and lower operating costs, in turn attaining a considerable reduction in life cycle costs.

Gas-Insulated Switchgear for Substations
SF6-insulated switchgear up to 245 kV, type 8DN9 The clear bay configuration of the lightweight and compact 8DN9 switchgear is evident at first sight. Control and monitoring facilities are easily accessible in spite of the compact design of the switchgear. The horizontally arranged circuit-breaker forms the basis of every bay configuration. The operating mechanism is easily accessible from the operator area. The other bay modules – of single-phase encapsulated design like the circuit-breaker module – are located on top of the circuit-breaker. The three-phase encapsulated passive busbar is partitioned off from the active equipment. Thanks to “single-function” assemblies (assignment of just one task to each module) and the versatile modular structure, even unconventional arrangements can be set up out of a pool of only 20 different modules. The modules are connected to each other by a standard interface which allows an extensive range of bay structures. The switchgear design with standardized modules and the scope of services mean that all kinds of bay structures can be set up in a minimal area. The compact design permits the supply of double bays fully assembled, tested in the factory and filled with SF6 gas at reduced pressure, which assures smooth and efficient installation and commissioning. The following major feeder control level functions are performed in the local control cubicle for each bay, which is integrated in the operating front of the 8DN9 switchgear: ■ Fully interlocked local operation and state-indication of all switching devices managed reliably by the Siemens digital switchgear interlock system ■ Practical dialog between the digital feeder protection system and central processor of the feeder control system ■ Visual display of all signals required for operation and monitoring, together with measured values for current, voltage and power ■ Protection of all auxiliary current and voltage transformer circuits ■ Transmission of all feeder information to the substation control and protection system Factory assembly and tests are significant parts of the overall production concept mentioned above. Two bays at a time undergo mechanical and electrical testing with the aid of computer-controlled stands.

SF6-insulated switchgear up to 550 kV, type 8DQ1 The GIS type 8DQ1 is a modular switchgear system for high power switching stations with individual enclosure of all modules for the three-phase system. The base unit for the switchgear forms a horizontally arranged circuit-breaker on top of which are mounted the housings containing disconnectors, grounding switches, current transformers, etc. The busbar modules are also single-phase encapsulated and partitioned off from the active equipment. As a matter of course the busbar modules of this switchgear system are passive elements, too. Additional main characteristic features of the switchgear installation are: ■ Circuit-breakers with two interrupter units up to operating voltages of 550 kV and breaking currents of 63 kA (from 63 kA to 100 kA, circuit-breakers with four interrupter units have to be considered) ■ Low switchgear center of gravity by means of circuit-breaker arranged horizontally in the lower portion ■ Utilization of the circuit-breaker transport frame as supporting device for the entire bay ■ The use of only a few modules and combinations of equipment in one enclosure reduces the length of sealing faces and consequently lowers the risk of leakage

Gas-Insulated Switchgear for Substations
Some examples for special arrangement Gas-insulated switchgear – usually accommodated in buildings (as shown in a towertype substation) – is expedient whenever the floor area is very expensive or restricted or whenever ambient conditions necessitate their use (Fig. 50, page 2/34). For smaller switching stations, or in cases of expansion when there is no advantage in constructing a building, a favorable solution is to install the substation in a container (Fig. 49).

Mobile containerized switching stations can be of single or multi-bay design using a large number of different circuits and arrangements. All the usual connection components can be employed, such as outdoor bushings, cable adapter boxes and SF6 tubular connections. If necessary, all the equipment for control and protection and for the local supply can be accommodated in the container. This allows exten-

Mobile containerized switchgear – even for high voltage At medium-voltage levels, mobile containerized switchgear is the state of the art. But even high-voltage switching stations can be built in this way and economically operated in many applications. The heart is the metal-enclosed SF6-insulated switchgear, installed either in a sheet-steel container or in a block house made of prefabricated concrete elements. In contrast to conventional stationary switchgear, there is no need for complicated constructions; mobile switching stations have their own ”building“.

sively independent operation of the installation on site. Containerized switchgear is preassembled in the factory and ready for operation. On site, it is merely necessary to set up the containers, fit the exterior system parts and make the external connections. Shifting the switchgear assembly work to the factory enhances the quality and operational reliability. Mobile containerized switchgear requires little space and usually fits in well with the environment. Rapid availability and short commissioning times are additional, significant advantages for the operators. Considerable cost reductions are achieved in the planning, construction work and assembly. Building authority approvals are either not required or only in a simple form. The installation can be operated at various locations in succession, and adaptation to local circumstances is not a problem. These are the possible applications for containerized stations: ■ Intermediate solutions for the modernization of switching stations ■ Low-cost transitional solutions when tedious formalities are involved in the new construction of transformer substations, such as in the procurement of land or establishing cable routes ■ Quick erection as an emergency station in the event of malfunctions in existing switchgear ■ Switching stations for movable, geothermal power plants

GIS up to 245 kV in a standard container The dimensions of the 8DN9 switchgear made it possible to accommodate all active components of the switchgear (circuitbreaker, disconnector, grounding switch) and the local control cabinet in a standard container. The floor area of 20 ft x 8 ft complies with the ISO 668 standard. Although the container is higher than the standard dimension of 8 ft, this will not cause any problems during transportation as proven by previously supplied equipment. German Lloyd, an approval authority, has already issued a test certificate for an even higher container construction. The standard dimensions and ISO corner fittings will facilitate handling during transport in the 20 ft frame of a container ship and on a low-loader truck. Operating staff can enter the container through two access doors. Rent a GIS Containerized gas-insulated high voltage substations for hire are now available. In this way, we can step into every breach, instantly and in a remarkably cost-effective manner. Whether for a few weeks, months or even 2 to 3 years, a fair rent makes our Instant Power Service unbeatably economical.

Gas-Insulated Switchgear for Substations
Work, material and design Aluminium or aluminium alloys shall be used preferabely for the enclosures. Maximum reliability through minimum amount of erection work on site is required. Subassemblies must be erected and tested in the factory to the maximum extent. The size of the subassemblies shall be limited only by the transport conditions. The material and thickness of the enclosure shall be selected to withstand an internal arc and to prevent a burn-through or puncturing of the housing within the first stage of protection, referred to a shortcircuit current of 40 kA. Normally exterior surfaces of the switchgear shall not require painting. If done for aesthetic reasons, surfaces shall be appropriately prepared before painting, i.e. all enclosures are free of grease and blasted. Thereafter the housings shall be painted with no particular thickness required but to visually cover the surface for decorative reasons only. The interior color shall be light (white or light grey). All joints shall be machined and all castings spotfaced for bolt heads, nuts and washers. Assemblies shall have reliable provisions to absorb thermal expansion and contractions created by temperature cycling. For this purpose metal bellows-type compensators shall be installed. They must be provided with adjustable tensioners. All solid post insulators shall be provided with ribs (skirts). For supervision of the gas within the enclosures, density monitors with electrical contacts for at least two pressure levels shall be installed. The circuit-breakers, however, might be monitored by density gauges fitted in circuit-breaker control units. The manufacturer assures that the pressure loss within each individual gas compartment – and not referred to the total switchgear installation only – will be not more than 1% per year per gas compartment.
Each gas-filled compartment shall be equipped with static filters of a capacity to absorb any water vapor penetrating into the switchgear installation over a period of at least 25 years. Long intervals between the necessary inspections shall keep the maintenance cost to a minimum. A minor inspection shall only become necessary after ten years and a major inspection preferably after a period exceeding 25 years of operation, unless the permissible number of operations is met at an earlier date. Arrangement and modules Arrangement The arrangement shall be single-phase or three-phase enclosed. The assembly shall consist of completely separate pressurized sections designed to minimize the risk of damage to personnel or adjacent sections in the event of a failure occurring within the equipment. Rupture diaphragms shall be provided to prevent the enclosures from uncontrolled bursting and suitable deflectors provide protection for the operating personnel. In order to achieve maximum operating reliability, no internal relief devices may be installed because adjacent compartments would be affected. Modular design, complete segregation, arc-proof bushings and “plug-in” connection pieces shall allow ready removal of any section and replacement with minimum disturbance of the remaining pressurized switchgear. Busbars All busbars shall be three-phase or singlephase enclosed and be plug-connected from bay to bay. Circuit-breakers The circuit-breaker shall be of the single pressure (puffer) type with one interrupter per phase*. Heaters for the SF6 gas are not permitted. The arc chambers and contacts of the circuit-breaker shall be freely accessible. The circuit-breaker shall be designed to minimize switching overvoltages and also to be suitable for out-of-phase switching. The specified arc interruption performance must be consistent over the entire operating range, from line-charging currents to full short-circuit currents.
The circuit breaker shall be designed to withstand at least 18–20 operations (depending on the voltage level) at full short-circuit rating without the necessity to open the circuit-breaker for service or maintenance. The maximum tolerance for phase disagreement shall be 3 ms, i.e. until the last pole has been closed or opened respectively after the first. A standard station battery required for control and tripping may also be used for recharging the operating mechanism. The energy storage system (hydraulic or spring operating system) will hold sufficient energy for all standard IEC closeopen duty cycles. The control system shall provide alarm signals and internal interlocks, but inhibit tripping or closing of the circuit-breaker when there is insufficient energy capacity in the energy storage system, or the SF6 density within the circuit-breaker has dropped below a minimum permissible level. Disconnectors All isolating switches shall be of the singlebreak type. DC motor operation (110, 125, 220 or 250 V), completely suitable for remote operation, and a manual emergency drive mechanism is required. Each motor-drive shall be self-contained and equipped with auxiliary switches in addition to the mechanical indicators. Life lubrication of the bearings is required. Grounding switches Work-in-progress grounding switches shall generally be provided on either side of the circuit-breaker. Additional grounding switches may be used for the grounding of bus sections or other groups of the assembly. DC motor operation (110, 125, 220 or 250 V), completely suitable for remote operation, and a manual emergency drive mechanism is required. Each motor drive shall be self-contained and equipped with auxiliary position switches in addition to the mechanical indicators. Life lubrication of the bearings is required.

Tests required
Power frequency tests
Partial discharge tests
Each assembly shall be subjected to power-frequency withstand tests to verify the correct installation of the conductors and also the fact that the insulator surfaces are clean and the switchgear as a whole is not polluted inside.
All solid insulators fitted into the switchgear shall be subjected to a routine partial discharge test prior to being installed. No measurable partial discharge is allowed at 1.1 line-to-line voltage (approx. twice the phase-to-ground voltage). This test ensures maximum safety against insulator failure, good long-term performance and thus a very high degree of reliability. Pressure tests Each cast aluminium enclosure of the switchgear shall be pressure-tested to at least double the service pressure.
Additional technical data The supplier shall point out all dimensions, weights and other applicable data of the switchgear that may affect the local conditions and handling of the equipment. Drawings showing the assembly of the switchgear shall be part of the quotation.
Leakage tests
Instructions
Leakage tests performed on the subassemblies shall ensure that the flanges and cover faces are clean, and that the guaranteed leakage rate will not be exceeded.
Detailed instruction manuals about installation, operation and maintenance of the equipment shall be supplied by the contractor in case of an order.

The GIL exhibits the following differences in comparison with cables: ■ High power ratings (transmission capacity up to 3000 MVA per System) ■ High overload capability ■ Suitable for long distances (100 km and more without compensation of reactive power) ■ High short-circuit withstand capability (including internal arc faults) ■ Possibility of direct connection to gasinsulated switchgear (GIS) and gas-insulated arresters without cable entrance fitting ■ Multiple earthing points possible ■ Non-flammable, no fire risk in case of failures The innovations in the latest Siemens GIL development are the considerable reduction of costs and the introduction of buried laying technique for GIL for long-distance power transmission. SF6 has been replaced by a gas mixture of SF6 and N2 as insulating medium.
The gas-insulated transmission line technique is a highly reliable system in terms of mechanical and electrical failures. Once a system is commissioned and in service, it runs reliably without any dielectrical or mechanical failures as experience over the course of 20 years shows. For example, one particular Siemens GIL will not undergo its scheduled inspection after 20 years of service, as there has been no indication of any weak point. Fig. 57 shows the arrangement of six phases in a tunnel. Basic design In order to meet mechanical stability criteria, gas-insulated lines need minimum cross-sections of enclosure and conductor. With these minimum cross-sections, high power transmission ratings are given. Due to the gas as insulating medium, low capacitive loads are given so that compensation of reactive power is not needed, even for long distances of 100 km and more.

Siemens experience Back in the 1960s with the introduction of sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) as an insulating and switching gas, the basis was found for the development of gas-insulated switchgear (GIS). On the basis of GIS experience, Siemens developed SF6 gas-insulated lines to transmit electrical energy too. In the early 1970s initial projects were planned and implemented. Such gas-insulated lines were usually used within substations as busbars or bus ducts to connect gas-insulated switchgear with overhead lines, the aim being to reduce clearances in comparison to air-insulated overhead lines. Implemented projects include GIL laying in tunnels, in sloping galleries, in vertical shafts and in open air installation. Flanging as well as welding has been applied as jointing technique.

Reduction of SF6 content Several tests have been carried out in Siemens facilities as well as in other test laboratories world-wide since many years. Results of these investigations show that the bulk of the insulating gas for industrial projects involving a considerable amount of gas should be nitrogen, a nontoxic natural gas. However, another insulating gas should be added to nitrogen in order to improve the insulating capability and to minimize size and pressure. A N2/SF6 gas mixture with high nitrogen content (and sulphur hexafluoride portion as low as possible) was finally chosen as insulating medium.
The characteristics of N2/SF6 gas mixtures show that with an SF6 content of only 15–25% and a slightly higher pressure, the insulating capability of pure SF6 can be attained. Besides, the arcing behavior is improved through this mixture. Tests have proven that there would be no external damage or fire caused by an internal failure. The technical data of the GIL are shown in Fig. 59.

Jointing technique In order to improve the gas-tightness and to facilitate laying, flanges have been avoided as jointing technique. Instead, welding has been chosen to join the various GIL construction units. The welding process is highly automated, with the use of an orbital welding machine to ensure high quality of the joints. This orbital welding machine contributes to high productivity in the welding process and therefore speeds up laying. The reliability of the welding process is controlled by an integrated computerized quality assurance system. Laying The most recently developed Siemens GILs are scheduled for directly buried laying. The laying technique must be as compatible as possible with the landscape and must take account of the sequence of seasons. The laying techniques for pipelines have been improved over many years and they are applicable for GIL as a ”pipeline for electrical current“too. However, the GIL needs slightly different treatment where the pipeline technique has to be adapted.The laying process is illustrated in Fig. 60. The assembly area needs to be protected against dust, particles, humidity and other environmental factors that might disturb the dielectric system. Clean assembly therefore plays an important role in setting up cross-country GILs under normal environmental conditions. The combination of
Directly buried gas-insulated transmission lines will be safeguarded by a passive and active corrosion protection system. The passive corrosion protection system comprises a PE or PP coating and assures at least 40 years of protection. The active corrosion protection system provides protection potential in relation to the aluminum sheath. An important requirement taken into account is the situation of an earth fault with a high current of up to 63 kA to earth. Testing The GIL is already tested according to the report IEC 61640 (1998) “Rigid highvoltage, gas-insulated transmission lines for voltages of 72.5 kV and above.” Long-term performances Besides nearly 25 years of field experience with GIL installations world wide, the longterm performance of the GIL for long-distance installations has been proven by the independent test laboratory IPH, Berlin, Germany and the Berlin power utility BEWAG according to long-term test proce-
dures for power cables. The test procedure consisted of load cycles with doubled voltage and increased current as well as frequently repeated high-voltage tests. The assembly and repair procedures under realistic site conditions were examined too. The Siemens GIL is the first one in the world that has passed these tests, without any objection. Fig. 58 shows the test setup arranged in a tunnel of 3 m diameter, corresponding to the tunnel used in Berlin for installing a 420 kV transmission link through the city.

References Siemens has gathered experience with gas-insulated transmission lines at rated voltages of up to 550 kV and with system lengths totalling more than 30 km. The first GIL stretch built by Siemens was the connection of the turbine generator/ pumping motor of a pumped storage station with the switchyard. The 420 kV GIL is laid in a tunnel through a mountain and has a length of 4000 m (Fig. 57). This connection was commissioned in 1975 at the Wehr pumped storage station in the Black Forest in Southern Germany.

Since the very beginning of electric power, overhead lines have constituted the most important component for transmission and distribution. Their portion of overall length of electric circuits depends on the voltage level as well as on local conditions and practice. In densely populated areas like Central Europe, underground cables prevail in the distribution sector and overhead power lines in the high-voltage sector. In other parts of the world, for example in North America, overhead lines are often used also for distribution purposes within cities. Siemens has planned, designed and erected overhead power lines on all important voltage levels in many parts of the world.

For distribution and transmission of electric power standardized voltages according to IEC 60038 are used worldwide. For three-phase AC applications, three voltage levels are distinguished: ■ The low-voltage level up to 1 kV ■ The medium-voltage level between 1 kV and 36 kV and ■ The high-voltage level up to 800 kV. For DC transmission the voltages vary from the mentioned data. Low-voltage lines serve households and small business consumers. Lines on the medium-voltage level supply small settlements, individual industrial plants and larger consumers, the electric power being typically less than 10 MVA per circuit. The high-voltage circuits up to 145 kV serve for subtransmission of the electric power regionally and feed the mediumvoltage network. This high-voltage level network is often adopted to support the medium-voltage level even if the electric power is below 10 MVA. Moreover, some of these high-voltage lines also transmit the electric power from medium-sized generating stations, such as hydro plants on small and medium rivers, and supply largescale consumers, such as sizable industrial plants or steel mills. They constitute the connection between the interconnected high-voltage grid and the local distribution networks. The bandwidth of electrical power transported corresponds to the broad range of utilization, but, rarely exceeds 100 MVA per circuit, while the surge impedance load is 35 MVA (approximately).

245 kV lines were used in Central Europe for interconnection of utility networks before the changeover to the 420 kV level for this purpose. Long-distance transmission, for example between the hydro power plants in the Alps and the consumers, was performed out by 245 kV lines. Nowadays, the importance of 245 kV lines is decreasing due to the application of 420 kV.
The 420 kV level represents the highest voltage used for AC transmission in Central Europe with the task of interconnecting the utility networks and of transmitting the energy over long distances. Some 420 kV lines connect the national grids of the individual European countries enabling Europewide interconnected network operation. Large power plants, such as nuclear stations, feed directly into the 420 kV network. The thermal capacity of the 420 kV circuits may reach 2000 MVA with a surge impedance load of approximately 600 MVA and a transmission capacity up to 1200 MVA.

Overhead power lines with voltages higher than 420 kV are needed to economically transmit bulk electric power over long distances, a task typically arising when utilizing hydro energy potentials far away from consumer centers. Fig. 62 depicts schematically the range of application for the individual voltage levels depending on the distance of transmission and the power rating.
The voltage level has to be selected based on the duty of the line within the network or on results of network planning. Siemens has carried out such studies for utilities all over the world.

Conductors represent the most important components of an overhead power line since they have to ensure economical and reliable transmission and contribute considerably to the total line costs. For many years aluminum and its alloys have been the prevailing conducting materials for power lines due to the favorable price, the low weight and the necessity of certain minimum cross-sections. The conductors are prone to corrosion. Aluminum, in principle, is a very corrosive metal. However, a dense oxide layer is formed which stops further corrosive attacks. Therefore, aluminum conductors are well-suited also for corrosive areas, for example a maritime climate. For aluminum conductors there are a number of different designs in use. All-aluminum conductors (AAC) have the highest conductivity for a given cross-section, however possess only a low mechanical strength, which limits their application to short spans and low tensile forces. To increase the mechanical strength, wires made of aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloys are adopted, the strength of which is twice that of pure aluminum. All-aluminum and aluminum alloy conductors have shown susceptibility against eolian vibrations. Compound conductors with a steel core, so-called aluminum cables, steel reinforced (ACSR), avoid this disadvantage. The ratio between aluminum and steel ranges from 4.3:1 to 11:1. Experience has demonstrated that ACSR has a long life, too. Conductors are selected according to electrical, thermal, mechanical and economic aspects. The electric resistance as a result of the conducting material and its crosssection is the most important feature affecting the voltage drop and the energy losses along the line and, therefore, the transmission costs. The cross-section has to be selected such that the permissible temperatures will not be exceeded during normal operation as well as under short circuit. With increasing cross-section the line costs increase, while the costs for losses decrease. Depending on the duty of a line and its power, a cross-section can be determined which results in lowest transmission costs. This cross-section should be aimed for. The heat balance of ohmic losses and solar radiation against convection and radiation determines the conductor temperature. A current density of 0.5 to 1.0 A /mm2 has proven to be an economical solution.

High voltage results in correspondingly high-voltage gradients at the conductors and in corona-related effects such as visible discharges, radio interference, audible noise and energy losses. When selecting the conductors, the voltage gradient has to be limited to values between 15 and 17 kV/cm. This aspect is important for lines with voltages of 245 kV and above. Therefore, bundle conductors are adopted for extra-high-voltage lines. Fig. 63 shows typical conductor configurations. From the mechanical point of view the conductors have to be designed for everyday conditions and for maximum loads exerted on the conductor by wind and ice. As a rough figure, an everyday stress of approximately 20% of the conductor ultimate tensile stress can be adopted, resulting in a limited risk of conductor damage. Ground wires can protect a line against direct lightning strokes and improve the system behavior in case of short circuits; therefore, lines with single-phase voltages of 110 kV and above are usually equipped with ground wires. Ground wires made of ACSR with a sufficiently high aluminum cross-section satisfy both requirements.

Selection of insulators Overhead line insulators are subject to electrical and mechanical stress since they have to insulate the conductors from potential to ground and must provide physical supports. Insulators must be capable of withstanding these stresses under all conditions encountered in a specific line. The electrical stresses result from ■ The power frequency voltage ■ Temporary overvoltages at power frequency and ■ Switching and lightning overvoltages. Various insulator designs are in use, depending on the requirements and the experience with certain insulator types. Cap and pin-type insulators (Fig. 64) are made of porcelain or glass. The individual units are connected by fittings of malleable cast iron. The insulating bodies are not puncture-proof which is the reason for relatively numerous insulator failures. In Central Europe long-rod insulators (Fig. 65) are most frequently adopted. These insulators are puncture-proof. Failures under operation are extremely rare. Long-rod insulators show a superior behavior especially under pollution. The tensile loading of the porcelain body forms a disadvantage, which requires relatively large cross-sections. Composite insulators are made of a core with fiberglass-reinforced resin and sheds of differing plastic materials. They offer light weight and high tensile strength and will gain increasing importance for high-voltage lines. Insulator sets must provide a creepage path long enough for the expected pollution level, which is classified according to IEC 60815 from light with 16 mm/kV up to very heavy with 31 mm/kV. To cope with switching and lightning overvoltages, the insulator sets have to be designed with respect to insulation coordination according to IEC 60071-1. These design aspects determine the gap between the grounded fittings and the live parts. Suspension insulator sets carry the conductor weight and are arranged more or less vertically. There are I-shaped (Fig. 66a) and V-shaped sets in use. Single, double or triple sets cope with the mechanical loadings and the design requirements. Tension insulator sets (Fig. 66b, c) terminate the conductors and are arranged in the direction of the conductors. They are loaded by the conductor tensile force and have to be rated accordingly.

Together with the line voltage, number of circuits and type of conductors the configuration of the circuits determines the design of overhead power lines. Additionally, lightning protection by ground wires, the terrain and the available space at the tower sites have to be considered. In densely populated areas like Central Europe, the width of right-of-way and the space for the tower sites are limited. In the case of extra-high voltages the conductor configuration affects the electrical characteristics and the transmission capacity of the line. Very often there are contradicting requirements, such as a tower height as low as possible and a narrow right-of-way, which can only be met partly by compromises. The mutual clearance of the conductors depends on the voltage and the conductor sag. In ice-prone areas conductors should not be arranged vertically in order to avoid conductor clashing after ice shedding. For low- and medium-voltage lines horizontal conductor configurations prevail which feature line post insulators as well as suspension insulators. Preferably poles made of wood, concrete or steel are used. Fig. 67 shows some typical line configurations. Ground wires are omitted at this voltage level. For high and extra-high-voltage power lines a large variety of configurations are available which depend on the number of circuits and on local conditions. Due to the very limited right-of-way, more or less all high-voltage lines in Central Europe comprise at least two circuits. Fig. 68 shows a series of typical tower configurations. Arrangement e) is called the ”Danube“ configuration and is most often adopted. It represents a fair compromise with respect to width of right-of-way, tower height and line costs. For lines comprising more than two circuits there are many possibilities for configuring the supports. In the case of circuits with differing voltages those circuits with the lower voltage should be arranged in the lowermost position (Fig. 68g). The arrangement of insulators depends on the task of a support within the line. Suspension towers support the conductors in straight-line sections and at small bends. This tower type results in the lowest costs; special attention should therefore be paid to using this tower type as often as possible.

Angle towers have to carry the conductor tensile forces at angle points of the line. The tension insulator sets permanently exert high forces on the supports. Various loading conditions have to be met when designing angle towers. The climatic conditions are a determining factor as well. Finally, dead-end towers are used at the ends of a transmission line. They carry the total conductor tensile forces of the connection to the substations. Depending on the size of the supports and the acting forces, differing designs and materials are adopted. Poles made of wood, concrete or steel are very often used for low and medium-voltage lines. Towers with lattice steel design, however, prevail at voltage levels of 110 kV and above (Fig. 69). When designing the support a number of conditions have to be considered. High wind and ice loads cause the maximum forces to act on suspension towers. In ice-prone areas unbalanced conductor tensile forces can result in torsional loading. Additionally, special loading conditions are adopted for the purpose of failure containment, i.e. to limit the extent of damage. Finally, provisions have to be made for construction and maintenance conditions. Siemens adopts modern computer programs for tower design in order to optimize the structures, select components and joints and determine foundation loadings. The stability of the support poles and towers needs also accordingly designed foundations. The type of towers and poles, the loads, the soil conditions as well as the accessibility to the line route and the availability of machinery determine the selection and design of foundation. Concrete blocks or concrete piers are in use for poles which exert bending moments on the foundation. For towers with four legs a foundation is provided for each individual leg (Fig. 70). Pad-andchimney and concrete block foundations require good bearing soil conditions without ground water. Driven or augured piles and piers are adopted for low bearing soil, for sites with bearing soil in a greater depth and for high ground water level. In this case the soil conditions must permit pile driving. Concrete slabs can be used for good bearing soil, when subsoil and ground water level prohibit pad and chimney foundations as well as piles. Siemens can design all types of foundation and has the necessary equipment, such as pile drivers, grouting devices, soil and rock drills, at its command to build all types of power line foundations.

Route selection and tower spotting
Siemens’ activities and experience
Route selection and planning represent increasingly difficult tasks since the rightof-way for transmission lines is limited and many aspects and interests have to be considered. Route selection and approval depend on the statutory conditions and procedures and always involve iterative studies carried out in the office and surveys in the terrain which consider and evaluate a great variety of alternatives. After definition of the route the longitudinal profile has to be surveyed, identifying all crossings over roads, rivers, railways, buildings and other overhead power lines. The results are evaluated with computer programs to calculate and plot the line profile. The towers are spotted by means of computer programs as well, which take into account the conductor sags under different conditions, the ground clearances, objects crossed by the line, technical data of the available tower range, tower and foundation costs and costs for compensation of landowners. The result is an economical design of a line, which accounts for all the technical and environmental conditions. Line planning forms the basis for material acquisition and line erection. Fig. 71 shows a line profile established by computer.
Siemens has been active in the overhead power line field for more than 100 years. The activities comprise design and construction of rural electrification schemes, low and medium-voltage distribution lines, high-voltage lines and extra-high-voltage installations. To give an indication of what has been carried out by Siemens, approximately 20,000 km of high-voltage lines up to 245 kV and 10,000 km of extra-high-voltage lines above 245 kV have been set up so far. Overhead power lines have been erected by Siemens in Germany and Central Europe as well as in the Middle East, Africa, the Far East and South America. The 420 kV transmission lines across the Elbe river in Germany comprising four circuits and requiring 235 m tall towers as well as the 420 kV line across the Bosphorus in Turkey with a span of approximately 1800 m (Fig. 72) are worthy of special mention.

Higher availability means more operating hours, better utilization and higher profits for the owner. The new Human-Machine Interface (HMI) system enhances the user-friendliness and increases the reliability considerably due to the operator guidance.

Power Compensation in Transmission Systems
Introduction 1

In many countries increasing power consumption leads to growing and more interconnected AC power systems. These complex systems consist of all types of electrical equipment, such as power plants, transmission lines, switchgear transformers, cables etc., and the consumers. Since power is often generated in those areas of a country with little demand, the transmission and distribution system has to provide the link between power generation and load centers. Wherever power is to be transported, the same basic requirements apply: ■ Power transmission must be economical ■ The risk of power system failure must be low ■ The quality of the power supply must be high However, transmission systems do not behave in an ideal manner. The systems react dynamically to changes in active and reactive power, influencing the magnitude and profile of the power systems voltage. Fig. 80: STATCOM inverter hall

Examples: ■ A load rejection at the end of a long-dis-
tance transmission line will cause high overvoltages at the line end. However, a high load flow across the same line will decrease the voltage at its end. ■ The transport of reactive power through a grid system produces additional losses and limits the transmission of active power via overhead lines or cables. ■ Load-flow distribution on parallel lines is often a problem. One line could be loaded up to its limit, while another only carries half or less of the rated current. Such operating conditions limit the actual transmittable amount of active power. ■ In some systems load switching and/or load rejection can lead to power swings which, if not instantaneously damped, can destabilize the complete grid system and then result in a “Black Out”. Reactive power compensation helps to avoid these and some other problems. In order to find the best solution for a grid system problem, studies have to be carried out simulating the behavior of the system during normal and continuous operating conditions, and also for transient events. Study facilities which cover digital simulations via computer as well as analog ones in a transient network analyzer laboratory are available at Siemens.

Power Compensation in Transmission Systems
Types of reactive power compensation

Operating diagram
Parallel compensation
1 Un
1
Parallel compensation is defined as any type of reactive power compensation employing either switched or controlled units, which are connected parallel to the transmission network at a power system node. In many cases switched compensation (reactors, capacitor banks or filters) can provide an economical solution for reactive power compensation using conventional switchgear.

3
In comparison to mechanically-switched reactive power compensation, controlled compensation (SVC, Fig. 81) offers the advantage that rapid dynamic control of the reactive power is possible within narrow limits, thus maintaining reactive power balance. Fig. 82 is a general outline of the problemsolving applications of SVCs in high-voltage systems. STATCOM The availability of high power gate-turn-off (GTO) thyristors has led to the development of a Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM), Fig. 80, page 2/52. The STATCOM is an “electronic generator” of dynamic reactive power, which is connected in shunt with the transmission line (Fig. 83) and designed to provide smooth, continuous voltage regulation, to prevent voltage collapse, to improve transmission stability and to dampen power oscillations. The STATCOM supports subcycle speed of response (transition between full capacitive and full inductive rating) and superior performance during system disturbances to reduce system harmonics and resonances. Particular advantages of the equipment are the compact and modular construction that enables ease of siting and relocation, as well as flexibility in future rating upgrades (as grid requirements change) and the generation of reactive current irrespective of network voltage.

Series compensation
Synchronous Series Compensation (SSSC)
Series compensation is defined as insertion of reactive power elements into transmission lines. The most common application is the series capacitor.
The Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) is a solid-state voltage generator connected in series with the transmission line through an insertion transformer (Fig. 85). The generation of a boost voltage advancing or lagging behind the line current by 90° affects the voltage drop caused at the line reactance and can be used to dampen transient oscillations and control real power flow independent of the magnitude of the line current.
Thyristor-Controlled Series Compensation (TCSC) By providing continuous control of transmission line impendance, the Thyristor Controlled Series Compensation (TCSC, Fig. 84) offers several advantages over conventional fixed series capacitor installations. These advantages include: ■ Continuous control of desired compensation level ■ Direct smooth control of power flow within the network ■ Improved capacitor bank protection ■ Local mitigation of subsynchronous oscillations (SSR). This permits higher levels of compensation in networks where interactions with turbine-generator torsional vibrations or with other control or measuring systems are of concern. ■ Damping of electromechanical (0.5–2 Hz) power oscillations which often arise between areas in a large interconnected power network. These oscillations are due to the dynamics of interarea power transfer and often exhibit poor damping when the aggregate power transfer over a corridor is high relative to the transmission strength.

Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC)
Concept
The Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is the fastest and most versatile FACTS controller (Fig. 86). The UPFC constitutes a combination of the STATCOM and the SSSC. It can provide simultaneously and independently real time control of all basic power system parameters (transmission voltage, impedance and phase angle), determinig the transmitted real and reactive power flow to optimize line utilization and system capability. The UPFC can enhance transmission stability and dampen system oscillations.

Medium-Voltage Switchgear
Introduction 1

Primary and secondary distribution stands for the two basic functions of the mediumvoltage level in the distribution system. ‘Power Supply Systems’ (PSS) includes the equipment of the Primary and Secondary Distribution, all interconnecting equipment (cables, transformers, control systems, etc.) down to LV consumer distributions as well as all the relating planning, engineering, project/site management, installation and commissioning work involved, including turnkey projects with all necessary electrical and civil works equipment (Fig. 1).

‘Primary distribution’ means the switchgear installation in the HV/MV transformer main substations. The capacity of equipment must be sufficient to transport the electrical energy from the HV/MV transformer input (up to 63 MVA) via busbar to the outgoing distribution lines or cable feeders. The switchgear in these main substations is of high importance for the safe and flexible operation of the distribution system. It has to be very reliable during its lifetime, flexible in configuration, and easy to operate with a minimum of maintenance. The type of switchgear insulation (air or SF6) is determined by local conditions, e.g. space available, economic considerations, building costs, environmental conditions and the relative importance of maintenance. Design and configuration of the busbar are determined by the requirements of the local distribution system. These are: ■ The number of feeders is given by the outgoing lines of the system ■ The busbar configuration depends on the system (ring, feeder lines, opposite station, etc.) ■ Mode of operation under normal conditions and in case of faults ■ Reliability requirements of consumers, etc. Double busbars with longitudinal sectionalizing give the best flexibility in operation. However, for most of the operating situations, single busbars are sufficient if the distribution system has adequate redundancy (e.g. ring-type system). If there are only a few feeder lines which call for higher security, a mixed configuration is advisable. It is important to prepare enough spare feeders or at least space in order to extend the switchgear in case of further development and the need for additional feeders. As these substations, especially in densely populated areas, have to be located right in the load center, the switchgear must be space-saving and easy to install. The installation of this switchgear needs thorough planning in advance, including the system configuration and future area development. Especially where existing installations have to be upgraded, the situation of the distribution system should be analyzed for simplification (system planning and architectural system design).
‘Secondary distribution’ is the local area supply of the individual MV/LV substations or consumer connecting stations. The power capacity of MV/LV substations depends on the requirements of the LV system. To reduce the network losses, the transformer substations should be installed directly at the load centers with typical transformer ratings of 400 kVA to max. 1000 kVA. Due to the great number of stations, they must be space-saving and maintenance-free. For high availability, MV/LV substations are mostly looped in by load-break switches. The line configuration is mostly of the open-operated ring type or of radial strands with opposite switching station. In the event of a line fault, the disturbed section will be switched free and the supply is continued by the second side of the line. This calls for reliable switchgear in the substations. Such transformer substations can be prefabricated units or single components, installed in any building or rooms existing on site, consisting of medium-voltage switchgear, transformers and low-voltage distri-bution. Because of the extremely high number of units in the network, high standardization of equipment is necessary. The most economical solution for such substations should have climate-independent and maintenance-free equipment, so that operation of equipment does not require any maintenance during its lifetime. Consumers with high power requirements have mostly their own distribution system on their building area. In this case, a consumer connection station with metering is necessary. Depending on the downstream consumer system, circuit breakers or loadbreak switches have to be installed. For such transformer substations nonextensible and extensible switchgear, for instance RMUs, has been developed using SF6 gas as insulation and arc-quenching medium in the case of load-break systems (RMUs), and SF6-gas insulation and vacuum (for vcb feeders) as arc-quenching medium in the case of extensible modular switchgear, consisting of load-break panels with or without fuses, circuit-breaker panels and measuring panels.

Design, rating, manufacture and testing of our medium-voltage switchboards is governed by international and national standards. Most applicable IEC recommendations and VDE/DIN standards apply to our products, whereby it should be noted that in Europe all national electrotechnical standards have been harmonized within the framework of the current IEC recommendations. Our major products in this section comply specifically with the following code publications: ■ IEC 60 298 AC metal-enclosed switchgear and controlgear for rated voltages above 1 kV and up to and including 72.5 kV ■ IEC 60 694 Common clauses for highvoltage switchgear and controlgear standards ■ IEC 60 056 High-voltage alternating-current circuit-breakers ■ IEC 60 265-1 High-voltage switches ■ IEC 60 470 High-voltage alternating current contactors ■ IEC 60 129 Alternating current disconnectors (isolators) and grounding switches ■ IEC 60 185 Current transformers ■ IEC 60 186 Voltage transformers ■ IEC 60 282 High-voltage fuses In terms of electrical rating and testing, other national codes and specifications can be met as well, e.g. ANSI C37, 20C, BS 5227, etc. In case of switchgear manufactured outside of Germany in Siemens factories or workshops, certain local standards can also be met; for specifics please inquire. Busbar system Switchgear installations for normal service conditions are preferably equipped with single-busbar systems. These switchboards are clear in their arrangement, simple to operate, require relatively little space, and are low in inital cost and operating expenses. Double-busbar switchboards can offer advantages in the following cases: ■ Operation with asynchronous feeders ■ Feeders with different degrees of importance to maintain operation during emergency conditions ■ Isolation of consumers with shock loading from the normal network
3/4
Fig. 2: Basic basbar configurations for medium-voltage switchgear ■ Balancing of feeder on two systems dur-
ing operation ■ Access to busbars required during operation. In double-busbar switchboards with dual feeder breakers it is possible to connect consumers of less importance by singlebusbar panels. This assures the high availability of a double-busbar switchboard for important panels, e.g. incoming feeders, with the low costs and the low space requirement of a single-busbar switchboard for less important panels. These composite switchboards can be achieved with the types 8BK20 and 8DC11. Type of insulation The most common insulating medium has been air at atmospheric pressure, plus some solid dielectric materials. Under severe climatic conditions this requires precautions to be taken against internal contamination, condensation, corrosion, or reduced dielectric strength in high altitudes.
Since 1982, insulating sulfur-hexafluoride gas (SF6-gas) at slight overpressure has also been used inside totally encapsulated switchboards as insulating medium for medium voltages to totally exclude these disturbing effects. All switchgear types in this section, with the exception of the gas-insulated models 8D and NX PLUS, use air as their primary insulation medium. Ribbed vacuum-potted epoxy-resin post insulators are used as structural supports for busbars and circuit breakers throughout. In the gas-insulated metal-clad switchgear 8D and NX PLUS, all effects of the environment on high-voltage-carrying parts are eliminated. Thus, not only an extremely compact and safe, but also an exceptionally reliable piece of switchgear is available. The additional effort for encapsulating and sealing the high-voltage-carrying parts requires a higher price – at least in voltage ratings below 24 kV. For a price comparison, see the curves on the following page (Figs. 3, 4).
Siemens Power Engineering Guide · Transmission and Distribution · 4th Edition
Primary Distribution Selection Criteria and Explanations
Enclosure, Compartmentalization IEC Publ. 60 298 subdivides metal-enclosed switchgear and controlgear into three types: ■ Metal-clad switchgear and controlgear ■ Compartmented switchgear and controlgear ■ Cubicle switchgear and controlgear. Thus “metal-clad” and “cubicle” are subdivisions of metal-enclosed switchgear, further describing construction details. In metal-clad switchgear the components are arranged in 3 separate compartments: ■ Busbar compartment ■ Circuit-breaker compartment ■ Feeder-circuit compartment with earthed metal partitions between each compartment. IEC 60 298-1990-12 Annex AA specifies a “Method for testing the metal-enclosed switchgear and controlgear under conditions of arcing due to an internal fault”. Basically, the purpose of this test is to show that persons standing in front of, or adjacent to a switchboard during internal arcing are not endangered by the effects of such arcs. All switchboards described in this section have successfully passed these type tests. Isolating method To perform maintenance operations safely, one of two basic precautions must be taken before grounding and short-circuiting the feeder: ■ 1. Opening of an isolator switch with clear indication of the OPEN condition. ■ 2. Withdrawal of the interrupter carrier from the operating into the isolation position. In both cases, the isolation gap must be larger than the sparkover distance from live parts to ground to avoid sparkover of incoming overvoltages across the gap. The first method is commonly found in fixed-mounted interrupter switchgear, whereas the second method is applied in withdrawable switchgear. Withdrawable switchgear has primarily been designed to provide a safe environment for maintenance work on circuit interrupters and instrument transformers. Therefore, if interrupters and instrument transformers are available that do not require maintenance during their lifetime, the withdrawable feature becomes obsolete. With the introduction of maintenance-free vacuum circuit-breaker bottles, and instrument transformers which are not subject

to dielectric stressing by high voltage, it is possible and safe to utilize totally enclosed, fixed-mounted and gas-insulated switchgear. Models 8DA, 8DB, 8DC and NX PLUS described in this section are of this design. Due to far fewer moving parts and their total shielding from the environment, they have proved to be much more reliable. All air-insulated switchgear models in this section are of the withdrawable type.

Switching device Depending on the switching duty in individual switchboards and feeders, basically the following types of primary switching devices are used in the switchgear cubicles in this section: (Note: Not all types of switching devices can be used in all types of cubicle.)

with HRC fuses ■ 3. Vacuum switches, switch disconnec-

To 1: Vacuum circuit-breakers In the continuing efforts for safer and more reliable medium-voltage circuit-breakers, the vacuum interrupter is clearly the first choice of buyers of new circuit-breakers worldwide. It is maintenancefree up to 10,000 operating cycles without any limitation in terms of time and it is recommended for all generalpurpose applications. If high numbers of switching operations are anticipated (especially autoreclosing in overhead line systems and switching of high-voltage motors), their use is indicated. They are avail-

To 2: Vacuum contactors Vacuum contactors are used for frequent switching operations in motor, transformer and capacitor bank feeders. They are typetested, extremely reliable and compact devices and they are totally maintenance-free. Since contactors cannot interrupt fault currents, they must always be used with current-limiting fuses to protect the equipment connected. Vacuum contactors can be installed in the metal-enclosed, metalclad switchgear types 8BK20, 8BK30 and NXAIR for 7.2 kV/31.5 kA. To 3: Vacuum switches or … Vacuum switches, switch disconnectors and gas-insulated three-position switch disconnectors in primary distribution switchboards are used mostly for small transformer feeders such as auxiliary transformers or load center substations. Because of their inability to interrupt fault currents they must always be used with currentlimiting fuses. Vacuum switches and switch disconnectors can be installed in the airinsulated switchboard types 8BK20 and NXAIR. Gas-insulated three-position switch disconnectors can be installed in the switchboard type 8DC11.

General description 8BK20 switchboards consist of metal-clad cubicles of air-insulated switchgear with withdrawable vacuum circuit-breakers. Fused vacuum switches can be used optionally. The breaker carriage is fully interlocked with the interrupter and the stationary cubicle. It is manually moved in a horizontal direction from the ”Connected“ position behind the closed front door and without the use of auxiliary equipment. A fully isolated low-voltage compartment is integrated. All commonly used feeder circuits and auxiliary devices are available. The switchgear cubicles and interrupters are factory-assembled and type-tested as per the applicable standards.
3/8
Fig. 6: Metal-clad switchgear type 8BK20 (inter-cubicle partition removed)
Stationary part
Breaker carriage
The cubicle is built as a self-supporting structure, bolted together from rolled galvanized steel sheets and profile sections. Each cubicle is divided into three sealed and isolated compartments by partitions, i.e. the busbar, cable connection and circuitbreaker compartment. The fixed contacts of the primary disconnectors are located within bushings, effectively maintaining the compartmentalization in all operating states of the switchgear. The bushings are covered by automatic steel safety shutters upon removal of the circuit-breaker carriage from the ”Connected“ position. Each compartment in every model has its own pressure-relief device. To reduce internal arcing times and thus consequential damage, pressure switches can be installed that trip the incoming feeder circuitbreaker(s) in less than 100 msec. This is an economical alternative to busbar differential protection.
The carriage normally supports a vacuum circuit-breaker with the associated operating mechanism and auxiliary devices. Fused vacuum switches are optional. By manually moving the carriage with the spindle drive it can be brought into a distinct ”Connected“ and ”Disconnected/ Test“ position. To this effect, the arc and pressure-proof front door remains closed. To remove the switching element completely from its compartment, a central service truck is used. Inspection can easily and safely be carried out with the circuitbreaker in the ”Disconnected/Test“ position. All electrical and mechanical parts are easily accessible in this position. Mechanical spring-charge and contactposition indicators are visible through the closed door. Local mechanical ON/OFF pushbuttons are actived through the door as well. For complete remote control, the circuitbreaker carriage can be equipped for motor operation.

Low-voltage compartment
Busbars and primary disconnectors
All protective relays, monitoring and control devices of a feeder can be accommodated in a metal-enclosed LV compartment on top of the HV enclosure. Device-mounting plates, cabling troughs, and the central LV terminal strip(s) are located behind a separate lockable door. Full or partial plexiglass windows, or mimic diagrams are available for these doors.
Rectangular busbars drawn from pure copper are used exclusively. They are mounted on ribbed, cast-resin post insulators which are sized to take up the dynamic forces resulting from short circuits. Soliddielectric busbar insulation is available. The movable parts of the line and loadside primary disconnectors have flat, spring-loaded and silver-plated hemispherical pressure contacts for low contact resistance and good ventilation. The parallel connecting arms are designed to increase contact pressure during short circuits. The fixed contacts are silver-plated stubs within the circuit-breaker bushings or the busbar mountings.
Main enclosure The totally enclosed and sealed cubicle permits installation in most equipment rooms. With the optional dust protection, the switchgear is safeguarded against internal contamination, small animals and rodents, and naturally against contact with live parts. This eliminates the usual reasons for arc faults. Should arcing occur, nevertheless, the arc can be guided towards the end of the lineup, where damage is repaired most easily. For the latter reason, parititions between individual cubicles of the same bus sections are normally not used.
Cables and bars are connected from below; entrance from above requires an auxiliary structure behind the cubicle. Single-phase or three-phase solid-dielectric cables can be connected from the front or the rear of the cubicle (specify); stress cones are installed conveniently inside the cubicle. Make-proof grounding switches with manual operation can be installed below the CTs, engaging contacts behind the cable lugs. Operation of the fully interlocked grounding switch is possible only with the breaker carriage in the ”Disconnected/ Test“ position.

A series of sturdy mechanical interlocks forces the operator into the only safe operating sequence of the switchgear, preventing positively the following: ■ Moving the carriage with the breaker closed. ■ Switching the breaker in any but the locked ”Connected“ or ”Disconnected/ Test“ position ■ Engaging the grounding switch with the carriage in the ”Connected“ position, and moving the carriage into this position with the grounding switch engaged.

Instrument transformers Up to three multicore block-type current transformers plus three single-phase potential transformers can be installed in the lower compartment, PTs optionally on withdrawable modules. The CTs carry the cable-connecting bars and lugs, and the fixed contacts of the (optional) grounding switch. All common burden and accuracy ratings of instrument transformers are available. Busbar metering PTs with their current-limiting fuses are installed on withdrawable carriages, identically to breaker carriages.

The switchboards are shipped in sections of up to three cubicles on stable wooden pallets which are suitable for rolling and forklift handling. These sections are bolted or spot-welded to channel iron sections embedded in a flat and level concrete floor. Front-connected types can be installed against the wall or free-standing; rear-connected cubicles require service aisles. Double-busbar installations in back-to-back configuration are installed free-standing. Cable feed-in is through corresponding cut-outs in the floor, plans for which are part of the switchgear supply. Three-phase (armored) cables for voltages above 12 kV require sufficient clearance below the switchgear to split up the phases (cablefloor, etc.). Circuit-breakers are shipped mounted on their carriages inside the switchgear cubicles. For dimensions and weights, see Fig. 9.

General description
The stationary part
Busbars and primary disconnectors
8BK30 motor starters consist of metalenclosed, air-insulated and metal-clad cubicles. Vacuum contactors on withdrawable trucks, with or without control power transformers, are used in conjunction with current-limiting fuses as starter devices. The truck is fully interlocked with the structure and is manually moved from the ”Connected“ to the ”Disconnected/Test“ position. A fully isolated low-voltage compartment is integrated. All commonly used starter circuits and auxiliary devices are available. The starter cubicles and contactors are factory-assembled and type-tested as per applicable standards.
The cubicle is constructed basically the same as the matching switchgear cubicles 8BK20, with the exception of the contactor truck.
Horizontal busbars are identical to the ones in the associated 8BK20 switchgear. Primary disconnectors are adapted to the low feeder fault currents of these starters. Silver-plated tulip contacts with round contact rods are used.
10
Contactor truck Vacuum contactor, HRC fuses, and control power transformer with fuses (if ordered) are mounted on the withdrawable truck. Auxiliary devices and interlocking components, plus the primary disconnects complete the assembly. Low-voltage compartment Space is provided for regular bimetallic or electronic motor-protection relays, plus the usual auxiliary relays for starter control. The compartment is metal-enclosed and has its own lockable door. All customer wiring is terminated on a central terminal strip within this compartment.
CTs and cable connection Due to the limited let-through current of the HRC fuse, block-type CTs with lower thermal rating can be used. Depending on the protection scheme used, CTs with one or two secondary windings are installed. All commonly used feeder cables up to 300 mm2 can be terminated and connected at the lower CT terminals. Grounding switches or surge-voltage limiters are installed optionally below the current transformers.
Main enclosure Practically identical to the associated 8BK20 switchgear.

General description
The 8DC11 is the result of the economical combination of SF6-insulation and vacuum technology. The insulating gas SF6 is used for internal insulation only; circuit interruption takes place in standard vacuum breaker bottles. The safety for the personnel and the environment is maximized. The 8DC11 is completely maintenance-free. The welded gas-tight enclosure of the primary part assures an endurance of 30 years without any work on the gas system.
Due to the excellent experience with vacuum circuit breaker gas-insulated switchgear, there is a worldwide rapidly increasing demand of this kind of switchgear even in the so-called low-range field.

SF6-Insulated Switchgear Type 8DC11
1. Modular design and compact dimensions The 8DC switchboards consist of: ■ The maintenance-free SF6-gas-insulated switching module is three-phase encapsulated and contains the vacuum circuitbreaker and 3 position selector switch (ON/OFF/READY TO EARTH) ■ Parts for which single-phase encapsulation is essential are safe to touch, easily accessible and not located in the switching module, e.g. current and potential transformers ■ The busbars are even single-phase encapsulated, i.e. they are insulated by silicone rubber with an outer grounded coating. The pluggable design assures a high degree of flexibility and makes also the installation of busbar CTs and PTs simple.

Switchgear based on well-proven components. The 8DC switchgear design is based on assembling methods and components which have been used for years in our SF6insulated Ring Main Units (RMUs). For example, the stainless-steel switchgear enclosure is hermetically-sealed by welding without any gaskets. Bushings for the busbar, cable and PT connection are welded in this enclosure, as well as the rupture disc, which is installed for pressure relief in the unlikely event of an internal fault. Siemens has had experience with this technique since 1982; 50,000 RMUs are running trouble-free. Cable plugs with the so-called outer-cone system have been on the market for many years. The gas pressure monitoring system is neither affected by temperature fluctuations nor by pressure fluctuations and shows clearly whether the switchpanel is ”ready for service“ or not. The monitor is magnetically coupled to an internal gas-pressure reference cell; mechanical penetration through the housing is not required. A design safe and reliable and, of course, wellproven in our RMUs. The vacuum circuit-breaker, i.e. the vacuum interrupters and the operating mechanism, is also used in our standard switchboards. The driving force for the primary contacts of the vacuum interrupters is transferred via metal bellows into the SF6gas-filled enclosure. A technology that has been successfully in operation in more than 100,000 vacuum interrupters over 20 years.

3. Current and potential transformers as per user’s application
4. No gas work at site and simplified installation
A step forward in switchgear design without any restriction to the existing system! New switchgear developments are sometimes overdesigned with the need for highly sophisticated secondary monitoring and protection equipment, because currentand potential-measuring devices are used with limited rated outputs. The result: Limited application in distribution systems due to interface problems with existing devices; difficult operation and resetting of parameters. The Siemens 8DC switchgear has no restrictions. Current and potential transformers with conventional characteristics are available for all kinds of protection requirements. They are always fitted outside the SF6-gas-filled container in areas of singlepole accessibility, the safe-to-touch design of both makes any kind of setting and testing under all service conditions easy. Current transformers can be installed in the cable connection compartment at the bushings and, if required additionally, at the cables (inside the cable connection compartment). Busbar CTs for measuring and protection can be placed around the silicone-rubber-insulated busbars in any panel. Potential transformers are of the metalclad pluggable design. Busbar PTs are designed for repeated tests with 80% of the rated power-frequency withstand voltage, cable PTs can be isolated from the live parts by means of a disconnection device which is part of the SF6-gas-filled switching module. This allows high-voltage testing of the switchboard with AC and the cable with DC without having to remove the PTs.
The demand for reliable, economical and maintenance-free switchgear is increasing more and more in all power supply systems. Industrial companies and power supply utilities are aware of the high investment and service costs needed to keep a reliable network running. Preventive maintenance must be carried out by trained and costly personnel. A modern switchgear design should not only reduce the investment costs, but also the service costs in the long run! The Siemens 8DC switchgear has been developed to fulfill those requirements. The modular concept with the maintenance-free units does not call for installation specialists and expensive testing and commissioning procedures. The switching module with the circuit-breaker and the three-position disconnector is sealed for life by gas-tight welding without any gaskets. All other high-voltage components are connected by means of plugs, a technology well-known from cable plugs with long- lasting service and proven experience. All cables will be connected by cable plugs with external cone connection system. In the case of XLPE cables, several manufacturers even offer cable plugs with an outer conductive coating (also standard for the busbars). Paper-insulated mass-impregnated cables can be connected as well by Raychem heat-shrinkable sealing ends and adapters. The pluggable busbars and PTs do not require work on the SF6 system at site. Installation costs are considerably reduced (all components are pluggable) because, contrary to standard GIS, even the site
9
HV tests can be omitted. Factory-tested quality is ensured thanks to simplified installation without any final adjustments or difficult assembly work. 5. Minimum space and maintenancefree, cost-saving factors Panel dimensions reduced, cable-connection compartment enlarged! The panel width of 600 mm and the depth of 1225 mm are just half of the truth. More important is the maximized size of the 8DC switchgear cable-connection compartment. The access is from the switchgear front and the gap from the cable terminal to the switchgear floor amounts to 740 mm. There is no need for any aisle behind the switchgear lineup and a cable cellar is superfluous. A cable trench saves civil engineering costs and is fully sufficient with compact dimensions, such as width 500 mm and depth 600 mm. Consequently, the costs for the plot of land and civil work are reduced. Even more, a substation can be located closer to the consumer which can also solve cable routing problems.

The switchgear type 8DA10 represents the successful generation of gas-insulated medium-voltage switchgear with fixed-mounted, maintenance-free vacuum circuit-breakers. The insulating gas SF6 is used for internal insulation only; circuit interruption takes place in standard vacuum breaker bottles. 1. Encapsulation All high-voltage conductors and interrupter elements are enclosed in two identical cast-aluminum housings, which are arranged at 90° angles to each other. The aluminum alloy used is corrosion-free. The upper container carries the copper busbars with its associated vacuum-potted epoxy insulators, and the three-way selector switch for the feeder with the three positions ON/ISOLATED/GROUNDING SELECTED. The other housing contains the vacuum breaker interrupter. The two housings are sealed against each other, and against the cable connecting area by arc-proof and gas-tight epoxy bushings with O-ring seals. Busbar enclosure and breaker enclosures form separate gas compartments. The hermetical sealing of all HV components prevents contamination, moisture, and foreign objects of any kind – the leading cause of arcing faults – from entering the switchgear. This reduces the requirement for maintenance and the probability of a fault due to the above to practically zero. All moving parts and items requiring inspection and occasional lubrication are readily accessible.

2. Insulation medium Sulfur-hexafluoride (SF6) gas is the prime insulation medium in this switchgear. Vacuum-potted cast-resin insulators and bushings supplement the gas and can withstand the operating voltage in the extremely unlikely case of a total gas loss in a compartment. The SF6 gas serves additionally as corrosion inhibiter by keeping oxygen away from the inner components. The guaranteed leakage rate of any gas compartment is less than 1% per year. Thus no scheduled replenishment of gas is required. Each compartment has its own gas supervision by contact-pressure gauges.
3. Three-position switch and circuitbreaker The required isolation of any feeder from the busbar, and its often desired grounding is provided by means of a sturdy, maintenance-free three-way switch arranged between the busbars and the vacuum breaker bottles. This switch is mechanically interlocked with the circuit breaker. The operations ”On/Isolated“ and ”Isolated/ Grounding selected“ are carried out by means of two different rotary levers. The grounding of the feeder is completed by closing the circuit-breaker. To facilitate replacement of a vacuum tube with the busbars live, the switch is located entirely within the busbar compartment. The vacuum circuit-breakers used are of the type 3AH described on pages 3/74 ff of this section. Mounted in the gas-insulated switchgear, the operating mechanism is placed at the switchgear front and the vacuum interrupters are located inside the gas filled enclosures. The number of operating cycles is 30,000. Since any switching arc that occurs is contained within the vacuum tube, contamination of the insulating gas is not possible. 4. Instrument transformers Toroidal-type current transformers with multiple secondary windings are arranged outside the metallic enclosure around the cable terminations. Thus there is no high potential exposed on these CTs and secondary connections are readily accessible. All commonly used burden and accuracy ratings are available. Bus metering and measuring are by inductive, gas-insulated potential transformers which are plugged into fully insulated and gas-tight bushings on top of the switchgear. 5. Feeder connections All commonly used solid-dielectric insulated single and three-phase cables can be connected conveniently to the breaker enclosures from below. Normally, fully insulated plug-in terminations are used. Also, fully insulated and gas-insulated busbar systems of the DURESCA/GAS LINK type can be used. The latter two termination methods maintain the fully insulated and safe-to-touch concept of the entire switchgear, rendering the terminations maintenance-free as well. In special cases, air-insulated conventional cable connection is available.

All feeder-related electronic protection devices, auxiliary relays, and measuring and indicating devices are installed in metal-enclosed low-voltage cabinets on top of each breaker bay. A central terminal strip of the lineup type is also located there for all LV customer wiring. PCB-type protection relays and individual-type protection devices are normally used, depending on the number of protective functions required.

7. Interlocking system The circuit-breaker is fully interlocked with the isolator/grounding switch by means of solid mechanical linkages. It is impossible to operate the isolator with the breaker closed, or to remove the switch from the GROUND SELECTED position with the breaker closed. Actual grounding is done via the circuit-breaker itself. Busbar grounding is possible with the available make-proof grounding switch. If a bus sectionalizer or bus coupler is installed, busbar grounding can be done via the three-way switch and the corresponding circuit-breaker of these panels. The actual isolator position is positively displayed by rigid mechanical indicators.

The double-busbar switchgear has been developed from the components of the switchgear type 8DA10. Two three-position switches are used for the selection of the busbars. They have their own gas-filled components. The second busbar system is located phasewise behind the first busbar system. The bay width of the switchgear remains unchanged; depth and height of each bay are increased (see dimension drawings Fig. 43). For parallel bus couplings, only one bay is required.

Installation The switchgear bays are shipped in prefabricated assemblies up to 5 bays wide on solid wooden pallets, suitable for rolling, skidding and fork-lift handling. Double-busbar sections are shipped as single or double bays. The switchgear is designed for indoor operation; outdoor prefabricated enclosures are available. Each bay is set onto embedded steel profile sections in a flat concrete floor, with suitable cutouts for the cables or busbars. All conventional cables can be connected, either with fully insulated plug-in terminations (preferred), or with conventional air-insulated stress cones. Fully insulated busbars are also connected directly, without any HV-carrying parts exposed. Operating aisles are required in front of and (in case of double-busbar systems) behind the switchgear lineup.

Type 8DA10 SF6 gas-insulated switchgear (single and double-pole) (Fig. 50a). This type has been upgraded for service in railway networks with a basic-impulse insulation level (BIL) of 200 (230) kV. It is therefore the ideal switchgear for 1 x 25 kV and 2 x 25 kV (50/60 Hz) railway networks. Typical occurrences in railway networks prove the suitability of the switchgear for such applications: ■ Effects of lightning strikes ■ Switching impulse voltage ■ Breaking under asynchronous conditions with a 180° phase difference ■ Recovery voltage after breaking under asynchronous conditions with a 180° phase difference.

Twin-Busbar System (TBS) This primary distribution switchgear is based on the worldwide proven SF6-insulated type 8DA / 8DB switchgear and has been supplemented by a twin busbar (Fig. 50b). The use of standard components allowed us in a remarkably short time to create from a modular, compact type of switchgear a high-current system unbeatable in terms of minimal space requirement. The modular-structure busbars were arranged in twin-busbar form. This twin-busbar system is supplied via a twin circuit-breaker and respective twin disconnector. All standard panel types required (incoming feeder, coupler, outgoing feeder) are available.

2. Insulation medium Due to the excellent experience with vacuum circuit-breaker gas-insulated switchgear, there is a worldwide rapidly increasing demand of this kind of switchgear even in the so-called low-range field. The insulating gas SF6 is used for internal insulation only; circuit interruption takes place in standard vacuum breaker bottles. The safety for the personnel and the environment is maximized. The NX PLUS is completely maintenancefree. The welded gas-tight enclosure of the primary part assures a full service life without any work on the gas system.

Tests have been carried out with NX PLUS switchgear, in order to verify its behaviour under conditions of internal arcing. The resistance to internal arcing complies with the requirements of ■ VDE 0670, Part 6, Appendix AA ■ IEC 60 298, Appendix AA. Resistance to internal arcs The possibility of faults in the NX PLUS fixed-mounted circuit-breaker switchgear is much less than in previous types, due to the single-pole enclosure of external components and the SF6 insulation of the switchgear: ■ All external fault-causing factors have been eliminated, such as: – Pollution deposits – Moisture – Small animals and foreign bodies ■ Maloperations are prevented by the clear, logical layout of the operating elements ■ The three-position switch and the vacuum circuit-breaker provide short-circuitproof earthing of the feeder. Should arcing occur in spite of this, the pressure is relieved towards the rear into a duct. In the improbable event of a fault inside the switchgear container, the SF6 insulation restricts the arc energy to only about 1/3 of that for air. The pressure-relief facility in the rear panel of the switchgear container is designed to operate in an overpressure range of 2 to 3.5 bar. The gases are discharged towards the rear into a duct. The pressure-relief duct diverts the gases upwards.
Protection against electric shock, the ingress of water and solid foreign bodies The NX PLUS fixed-mounted circuit-breaker switchgear is fully enclosed and entirely unaffected by climatic influences. ■ All medium-voltage switching devices are enclosed in a stainless steel container, which is welded gas-tight and filled with SF6 gas. ■ Live parts outside the switchgear container are single-pole insulated and screened. ■ There are no points at which leakage currents of high-voltage potential are able to flow off to earth. ■ All essential components of the operating mechanism are made of non-corroding materials.

Features
Standards ■ The fixed-mounted ring-main units
Maximum personnel safety The secondary distribution network with its basic design of ring-main systems with counter stations as well as radial-feed transformer substations is designed in order to reduce network losses and to provide an economical solution for switchgear and transformer substations. These are installed with an extremely high number of units in the distribution network. Therefore, high standardization of equipment is necessary and economical. The described switchgear will show such qualities. To reduce the network losses the transformer substations should be installed directly at the load centers. The transformer substations consisting of medium-voltage switchgear, transformers and low-voltage distribution can be designed as prefabricated units or single components installed in any building or rooms existing on site. Due to the large number of units in the networks the most economical solution for such substations should have climate-independent and maintenance-free equipment so that operation of the equipment does not need any maintenance work during its lifetime. For such transformer substations, nonextensible and extensible switchgear, for instance ring-main units (RMUs), have been developed using SF6 gas as insulation and arc-quenching medium in the case of loadbreak systems (RMUs), and SF6 gas insulation and vacuum as arc-quenching medium in the case of extensible modular switchgear, consisting of load-break panels with or without fuses, circuit-breaker panels and metering panels. Siemens has developed RMUs in accordance with these requirements. Ring-main units type 8DJ10, 8DJ20, 8DJ40 and 8DH10 are type-tested, factory-finished, metal-enclosed, SF6-insulated indoor switchgear installations. They verifiably meet all the demands encountered in network operation by virtue of the following features:

Industrial Load Center Substation
Introduction 1

Industrial power supply systems call for a maximum level of operator safety, operational reliability, economic efficiency and flexibility. And they likewise necessitate an integral concept which includes “before” and “after” customer service, which can cope with the specific load requirements and, above all, which is tailored to each individually occurring situation. With SITRABLOC® such a concept can be easily turned into reality.

SITRABLOC is an acronym for SIemens TRAnsformer BLOC-type. SITRABLOC is supplied with power from a medium-voltage substation via a fuse/ switch-disconnector combination and a radial cable. In the load center, where SITRABLOC is installed, several SITRABLOCs are connected together by means of cables or bars.

combination, the short-circuit current is limited, which means that the radial cable can be dimensioned according to the size of the transformer. ■ In the event of cable faults, only one SITRABLOC fails. ■ The short-circuit strength is increased due to connection of several stations in the load center. The effect of this is that, in the event of a fault, large loads are selectively disconnected in a very short time. ■ The transmission losses are optimized since only short connections to the loads are necessary. ■ SITRABLOC has, in principle, two transformer outputs: – 1250 kVA during AN operation (ambient temperature up to 40 °C) – 1750 kVA during AF operation (140% with forced cooling). These features ensure that, if one station fails for whatever reason, supply of the loads is maintained without interruption.

4 Whether in the automobile or food industry, in paintshops or bottling lines, putting SITRABLOC to work in the right place considerably reduces transmission losses. The energy is transformed in the production area itself, as close as possible to the loads. For installation of the system itself, no special building or fire-protection measures are necessary. Available with any level of output SITRABLOC can be supplied with any level of power output, the latter being controlled and protected by a fuse/switch-disconnector combination. A high-current busbar system into which up to four transformers can feed power ensures that even large loads can be brought onto load without any loss of energy. Due to the interconnection of units, it is also ensured that large loads are switched off selectively in the event of a fault. Integrated automatic power factor correction With SITRABLOC, power factor correction is integrated from the very beginning. Unavoidable energy losses – e.g. due to magnetization in the case of motors and transformers – are balanced out with power capacitors directly in the low-voltage network. The advantages are that the level of active power transmitted increases and energy costs are reduced (Fig. 97).

With the correctly designed transformer output, the n-1criterion is no longer a problem. Even if one module fails (e.g. a medium-voltage switching device, a cable or transformer) power continues to be supplied without the slightest interruption. None of the drives comes to a standstill and the whole manufacturing plant continues to run reliably. These examples show that, with SITRABLOC, the power is there when you need it – and safe, reliable and economical into the bargain.

N -1 criteria
N-1 operating mode
With the respective design of a factory grid on the MV side as well as on the LV side the so called n-1 criteria is fulfilled. In case one component fails on the line side of the transformer e.g. circuit breaker or transformer or cable to transformer, no interuption of the supply on the LV side will occur.
1 How to understand this mode: Normal operating mode: 4x1250 kVA N -1 operating mode: 3x1750 kVA
AN operating mode (100%) AF operating mode (≤ 140%)
2 Power distribution
Example Fig 98: Load required 5000 kVA = 4 x 1250 kVA. In case one load centre (SITRABLOC) is disconnected from the MV network the missing load will be supplied via the remaining three (N-1) load centres.

SITRABLOC is a combination of everything which present-day technology has to offer. Just one example of this are our GEAFOL® cast-resin transformers. Their output: 100% load without fans plus reserves of up to 140% with fans. And as far as persons are concerned, their safety is ensured even in the direct vicinity of the installation. Another example is the SENTRON highcurrent busbar system. It can be laid out in any arrangement, is quick to install and conducts the current wherever you like – with almost no losses. The most important thing, however, is the uniformity of SITRABLOC throughout, irrespective of the layout of the modules.

Circuit-breakers with reduced pole center distances, circuit-breakers for very high numbers of switching cycles and singlephase versions are part of the program. The following breaker types are available: ■ 3AH1 – the maintenance-free circuitbreaker which covers the range between 7.2 kV and 24 kV. It has a lifetime of 10,000 operating cycles ■ 3AH2 – the circuit-breaker for 60,000 operating cycles in the range between 7.2 kV and 24 kV ■ 3AH3 – the maintenance-free circuitbreaker for high breaking capacities in the range between 7.2 kV and 36 kV. It has a lifetime of 10,000 operating cycles ■ 3AH4 – the circuit-breaker for up to 120,000 operating cycles ■ 3AH5 – the economical circuit-breaker in the lower range for 10,000 maintenancefree operating cycles
Properties of 3AH circuit breakers: No relubrication Nonwearing material pairs at the bearing points and nonaging greases make relubrication superfluous on 3AH circuit-breakers up to 10,000 operating cycles, even after long periods of standstill. High availability Continuous tests have proven that the 3AHs are maintenance-free up to 10,000 operating cycles: accelerated temperature/ humidity change cycles between –25 and +60 °C prove that the 3AH functions reliably without maintenance. Assured quality Exemplary quality control with some hundred switching cycles per circuit-breaker, certified to DIN/ISO 9001. No readjustment Narrow tolerances in the production of the 3AH permanently prevent impermissible play: even after frequent switching the 3AH circuit-breaker does not need to be readjusted up to 10,000 operating cycles.

Advantages of the vacuum switching principle The most important advantages of the principle of arc extinction in a vacuum have made the circuit-breakers a technically superior product and the principle on which they work the most economical extinction method available: ■ Constant dielectric: In a vacuum there are no decomposition products and because the vacuum interrupter is hermetically sealed there are no environmental influences on it. ■ Constant contact resistance: The absence of oxidization in a vacuum keeps the metal contact surface clean. For this reason, contact resistance can be guaranteed to remain low over the whole life of the equipment. ■ High total current: Because there is little erosion of contacts, the rated normal current can be interrupted up to 30,000 times, the short-circuit breaking current an average of 50 times ■ Low chopping current: The chopping current in the Siemens vacuum interrupter is only 4 to 5 A due to the use of a special contact material. ■ High reliability: The vacuum interrupters need no sealings as conventional circuit-breakers. This and the small number of moving parts inside makes them extremely reliable.

HV HRC fuses type 3GD HV HRC (high-voltage high-rupturing-capacity) fuses are used for short-circuit protection in high-voltage switchgear. They protect switchgear and components, such as transformers, motors, capacitors, voltage transformers and cable feeders, from the dynamic and thermal effects of high shortcircuit currents by breaking them as they occur. The HV HRC fuse links can only be used to a limited degree as overload protection because they only operate with certainty when their minimum breaking current has already been exceeded. Up to this current the integrated thermal striker prevents a thermal overload on the fuse when used in circuit breaker/fuse combinations. Siemens HV HRC fuse links have the following features: ■ Use in indoor and outdoor installations ■ Nonaging because the fuse element is made of pure silver ■ Thermal tripping ■ Absolutely watertight ■ Low power loss With our 30 years of experience in the manufacture of HV HRC fuse links and with production and quality assurance that complies with DIN/ISO 9001, Siemens HV HRC fuse links meet the toughest demands for safety and reliability.

Medium-Voltage Devices Insulators and Bushings
Insulators: Post insulators type 3FA and bushings type 3FH/3FM Insulators (post insulators and bushings) are used to insulate live parts from one another and also fulfill mechanical carrying and supporting functions. The materials for insulators are various cast resins and porcelains. The use of these materials, which have proved themselves over many years of exposure to the roughest operating and ambient conditions, and the high quality standard to DIN/ISO 9001 assure the high degree of reliability of the insulators. Special ribbed forms ensure high electrical strength even when materials are deposited on the surface and occasional condensation is formed. Post insulators and bushings are manufactured in various designs for indoor and outdoor use depending on the application. Innovative solutions, such as the 3FA4 divider post insulator with an integrated expulsion-type arrester, provide optimum utility for the customer. Special designs are possible if requested by the customer.

Low-Voltage Switchboards
Introduction 1

Low-voltage switchboards form the link between equipment for generation, transmission (cables, overhead lines) and transformation of electrical energy on the one hand, and the loads, such as motors, solenoid valves, actuators and devices for heating, lighting and air conditioning on the other. As the majority of applications are supplied with low voltage, the low-voltage switchboard is of special significance in both public supply systems and industrial plants.
Reliable power supplies are conditional on good availability, flexibility for processrelated modifications and high operating safety on the part of the switchboard. Power distribution in a system usually comes via a main switchboard (power control center or main distribution board) and a number of subdistribution boards or motor control centers (Fig. 1).

General The SIVACON low-voltage switchboard is an economical, practical and type-tested switchgear and controlgear assembly (Fig. 3), used for example in power engineering, in the chemical, oil and capital goods industries and in public and private building systems. It is notable for its good availability and high degree of personnel and system safety. It can be used on all power levels up to 6300 A: ■ As main switchboard (power control center or main distribution board) ■ As motor control centre ■ As subdistribution board. With the many combinations that the SIVACON modular design allows, a wide range of demands can be met both in fixed-mounted plug-in and in withdrawableunit design. All modules used are type-tested (TTA), i.e they comply with the following standards: ■ IEC 60439-1 ■ DIN EN 60439-1 ■ VDE 0660 Part 500 also ■ DIN VDE 0106 Part 100 ■ VDE 0660 Part 500, supplement 2, IEC 61641 (arcing faults) Certification DIN EN ISO 9001

The cubicle is structured in modular grid based on one modular spacing (1 M) corresponding to 175 mm. The effective device installation space with a height of 1750 mm therefore represents a height of 10 M. The top and bottom space each has a height of 225 mm (Fig. 5). A cubicle is subdivided into four function compartments: ■ Busbar compartment ■ Device compartment ■ Cable connection compartment ■ Cross-wiring compartment In 400 mm deep cubicles, the busbar compartment is at the top; in 600 mm deep cubicles it is at the rear. In double-front systems (1000 mm depth) and in a power control center (1200 mm depth), the busbar compartment is located centrally. The switching device compartment accommodates switchgear and auxiliary equipment. The cable connection compartment is located on the right-hand side of the cubicle. With circuit-breaker design, however, it is below the switching device compartment (Fig. 4). The cross-wiring compartment is located at the top front and is provided for leading control and loop lines from cubicle to cubicle.

Low-Voltage Switchboards
Busbar system Together with the PEN or PE busbars, and if applicable the N busbars, the phase conductor busbars L1, L2 and L3 form the busbar system of a switchboard. One or more distribution buses and/or incoming and outgoing feeders can be connected to a horizontal main busbar. Depending on requirements, this main busbar passes through several cubicles and can be linked with another main busbar via a coupling. A vertical distribution busbar is connected with the main busbar and supplies outgoing feeders within a cubicle. In a 400 mm deep cubicle (Fig. 5a) the phase conductors of the main busbar are always at the top; the PEN or PE and N conductors are always at the bottom. The maximum rated current at 35 °C is 1965 A (non-ventilated), and 2250 A (ventilated); the maximum short-circuit strength is Ipk = 110 kA or Icw = 50 kA, respectively. In single-front systems with 600 mm cubicle depth (Fig. 5b), the main busbars are behind the switching device compartment. In double-front systems of 1000 mm depth (Fig. 5c), they are between the two switching device compartments (central). The phase conductors can be arranged at the top or bottom; PEN, PE and N conductors are always at the bottom. The maximum rated current is at 35 °C 3250 A (non-ventilated) or 3500 A (ventilated); Ipk = 250 kA or Icw = 100 kA, respectively. In 1200 mm deep systems (power control center) (Fig. 5d) the conductors are arranged as for double-front systems, but in duplicate; the phase conductors are always at the top. The maximum rated current at 35 °C is 4850 A (non-ventilated) or 6300 A (ventilated); Ipk = 220 kA, Icw = 100 kA.

The following designs are available for the duties specified: ■ Circuit-breaker design ■ Withdrawable-unit design ■ Plug-in design ■ Fixed-mounted design
Circuit-breaker design Distribution boards for substantial energy requirements are generally followed by a number of subdistribution boards and loads. Particular demands are therefore made in terms of long-term reliability and safety. That is to say, ”supply“, ”coupling“ and ”feeder“ functions must be reliably available over long periods of time. Maintenance and testing must not involve long standstill times. The circuit-breaker design components meet these requirements. The circuit-breaker cubicles have separate function spaces for a switching device compartment, auxiliary equipment compartment and cable/busbar connection compartment (Fig. 7). The auxiliary equipment compartment is above the switching device compartment. The cable or busbar connection compartment is located below. With supply from above, the arrangement is a like a mirror image. The cubicle width is determined by the breaker rated current.

The 3WN circuit-breakers in withdrawableunit or fixed-mounted design are used for incoming supply, outgoing feeders and couplings (longitudinal and transverse). The operational current can be shown on an LCD display in the control panel; there is consequently no need for an ammeter or current transformer.

The high short-time current-carrying capacity for time-graded short-circuit protection (up to 500 ms) assures reliable operation of sections of the switchboard not affected by a short circuit. With the aid of short-time grading control for very brief delay times (50 ms), the stresses and damage suffered by a switchboard in the event of a short-circuit can be substantially minimized, regardless of the preset delay time of the switching device concerned. The withdrawable circuit-breaker has three positions between which it can be moved with the aid of a crank or spindle mechanism. In the connected position the main and auxiliary contacts are closed.
In the test position the auxiliary contacts are closed. In the disconnected position both main and auxiliary contacts are open. Mechanical interlocks ensure that, in the process of moving from one position to another, the circuit-breaker always reaches the OPEN state or that closing is not possible when the breaker is between two positions. The circuit-breaker is always moved with the door closed. The actual position in which it is can be telecommunicated via a signaling switch. A kit, switch or withdrawable unit can be used for grounding and short-circuiting.

Withdrawable-unit design A major feature of withdrawable-unit design is removability and ease of replacement of equipment combinations under operating conditions, i.e. a switchboard can be adapted to process-related modifications without having to be shut down. Withdrawable-unit design is used therefore mainly for switching and control of motors (Fig. 8). Withdrawable units
A distinction is made between miniature (sizes 1/4 and 1/2) and normal withdrawable units (sizes 1, 2, 3 and 4) (Fig. 9). The normal withdrawable unit of size 1 has a height of one modular spacing (175 mm) and can, with the use of a miniature withdrawable unit adapter, be replaced by 4 withdrawable units of size 1/4 or 2 units of size 1/2. The withdrawable units of sizes 2, 3 and 4 have a height of 2, 3 and 4 modular spacings, respectively. The maximum complement of a cubicle is, for example, 10 full-size withdrawable units of size 1 or 40 miniature withdrawable units of size 1/4 .

The equipment of the main circuit of an outgoing feeder and the relevant auxiliary equipment are integrated as a function unit in a withdrawable unit, which can be easily accommodated in a cubicle. In basic state, all equipment and movable parts are within the withdrawable unit contours and thereby protected from damage. The facility for equipping the withdrawable units from the rear allows plenty of space for auxiliary devices. Measuring instruments, indicator lights, pushbuttons, etc. are located on a hinged instrument panel, such that settings (e.g. on the overload relay) can be easily performed during operation.

For main and auxiliary circuits the withdrawable units are equipped with a moving isolating contact system. It has contacts on both the incoming and outgoing side; they can be moved by handcrank such that they come laterally out of the withdrawable unit and engage with the fixed contacts in the cubicle. On miniature withdrawable units the isolating contact system moves upwards into the miniature withdrawable unit adapter. A distinction is made between connected, disconnected and test position (Fig. 10). In the connected position both main and auxiliary contacts are closed; in the disconnected position they are open. The test position allows testing of the withdrawable unit for proper function in no-load (cold) state, in which the main contacts are open, but the auxiliary contacts are closed for the incoming control voltage. In all three positions the doors are closed and the withdrawable unit mechanically connected with the switchboard. This assures optimal safety for personnel and the degree of protection is upheld. Movement from the connected into the test position and vice-versa always passes through the disconnected position; this assures that all contactors drop out. Operating error protection Integrated maloperation protection in each withdrawable unit reliably prevents moving of the isolating contacts with the main circuit-breaker ”CLOSED“ (handcrank cannot be attached) (Fig. 11).

Low-Voltage Switchboards
In-line plug-in design The in-line plug-in design represents a lowpriced alternative to both the classic fixedmounted and the convenient withdrawable unit design. By virtue of the supply-side plug-in contact, the modules provide the facility for quick interchangeability without the switchboard having to be isolated. This design is therefore used wherever changing requirements are imposed on operation, if for example motor ratings have to be changed or new loads connected. In-line plug-in modules, a cost-effective, compact design for: ■ Load outgoing feeders up to 45 kW ■ 3RV outgoing circuit-breaker units up to 100 A The modules are fitted with the new SIRIUSTM 3R switching devices. The compact overall width of the SIRIUS 3R devices, as well as the facility for lining them up with connecting modules, are particulary noticeable in the extremely narrow construction of the in-line modules. A lateral guide rail in the cubicle facilitates handling when replacing a module and at the same time ensures positive contact with the plug-in bus system.

In-line-type switching devices allow spacesaving installation of cable feeders in a cubicle and are particularly notable for their compact design (Fig. 20). The in-line-type switching devices feature plug-in contacts on the incoming side. They are alternatively available for cable feeders up to 630 A as: ■ Fuse module ■ Fuse-switch disconnectors (single-break) ■ Fuse-switch disconnectors (double-break) with or without solid-state fuse monitoring ■ Switch disconnectors
The single- or double-break in-line-type switching devices allow fuse changing in dead state. The main switch is actuated by pulling a vertical handle to the side. The modular design allows quick reequipping and easy replacement of in-line-type switching devices under operating conditions. The in-line-type switching devices have a height of 50 mm, 100 mm or 200 mm. A cubicle can consequently be equipped with up to 35 in-line-type switching devices. Vertical distribution bus (plug-on bus) The vertical plug-on bus with the phase conductors L1, L2 and L3 is located at the back in the cubicle and can be additionally fitted with a shock-hazard protection. The vertical PE, PEN and N busbars are on the right-hand side of the cubicle in a separate, 400 mm wide cable connection compartment, equipped with variable cable brackets.

Fixed-mounted design 1
In certain applications, e.g. in building installation systems, either there is no need to replace components under operating conditions or short standstill times do not result in exceptional costs. In such cases the fixed-mounted design (Fig. 22) offers excellent economy, high reliability and flexibility by virtue of: ■ Any combination of modular function units ■ Easy replacement of function units after deenergizing the switchboard ■ Brief modification or standstill times by virtue of lateral vertical cubicle busbars ■ Add-on components for subdivision and even compartmentalization in accordance with requirements.

The modular function units enable versatile and efficient installation, above all whenever operationally required changes or adaptations to new load data are necessary (Fig. 23). The subracks can be equipped as required with switching devices or combinations thereof; the function units can be combined as required within one cubicle. When the function modules are fitted in the cubicle they are first attached in the openings provided and then bolted to the cubicle. This securing system enables uncomplicated ”one-man assembly“.

Vertical distribution bus (cubicle busbar) The vertical cubicle busbar with the phase conductors L1, L2 and L3 is fastened to the left-hand side wall of the cubicle and offers many connection facilities (without the need for drilling or perforation) for cables and bars. It can be subdivided at the top or bottom once per cubicle (for group circuits or couplings). The connections are easily accessible and therefore equally easy to check. A transparent shock-hazard protection allows visual inspection and assures a very high degree of personnel safety. The vertical PE, PEN and N busbars are on the right-hand side of the cubicle in a separate, up to 400 mm wide cable connection compartment, equipped with variable cable brackets.

Frame and enclosure The galvanized SIVACON cubicle frames are of solid wall design and ensure reliable cubicle-to-cubicle separation. The enclosure is made of powder-coated steel sheets (Fig. 28 and 29). A cubicle front features one or more doors, depending on requirements and cubicle type. These doors are of 2 mm thick, powder-coated sheet steel and are hinged on the right or left (attached to the frame). Spring-loaded door locks prevent the doors from flying open unintentionally, and also ensure safe pressure equalization in the event of an arcing fault.

Introduction

Transformers are one of the primary components for the transmission and distribution of electrical energy. Their design results mainly from the range of application, the construction, the rated power and the voltage level. The scope of transformer types starts with generator transformers and ends with distribution transformers. Transformers which are directly connected to the generator of the power station are called generator transformers. Their power range goes up to far above 1000 MVA. Their voltage range extends to approx. 1500 kV. The connection between the different highvoltage system levels is made via network transformers (network interconnecting transformers). Their power range exceeds 1000 MVA. The voltage range exceeds 1500 kV. Distribution transformers are within the range from 50 to 2500 kVA and max. 36 kV. In the last step, they distribute the electrical energy to the consumers by feeding from the high-voltage into the low-voltage distribution network. These are designed either as liquid-filled or as dry-type transformers. Transformers with a rated power up to 2.5 MVA and a voltage up to 36 kV are referred to as distribution transformers; all transformers of higher ratings are classified as power transformers.
7
In addition, there are various specialpurpose transformers such as converter transformers, which can be both in the range of power transformers and in the range of distribution transformers as far as rated power and rated voltage are concerned. As special elements for network stabilization, arc-suppression coils and compensating reactors are available. Arc-suppression coils compensate the capacitive current flowing through a ground fault and thus guarantee uninterrupted energy supply. Compensating reactors compensate the capacitive power of the cable networks and reduce overvoltages in case of load rejection; the economic efficiency and stablility of the power transmission are improved. The general overview of our manufacturing/delivery program is shown in the table ”Product Range“.
The transformers comply with the relevant VDE specifications, i.e. DIN VDE 0532 ”Transformers and reactors“ and the ”Technical conditions of supply for threephase transformers“ issued by VDEW and ZVEI. Therefore they also satisfy the requirements of IEC Publication 76, Parts 1 to 5 together with the standards and specifications (HD and EN) of the European Union (EU). Enquiries should be directed to the manufacturer where other standards and specifications are concerned. Only the US (ANSI/NEMA) and Canadian (CSA) standards differ from IEC by any substantial degree. A design according to these standards is also possible.

All power ratings in this guide are the product of rated voltage (times phase-factor for three-phase transformers) and rated current of the line side winding (at center tap, if several taps are provided), expressed in kVA or MVA, as defined in IEC 76-1. If only one power rating and no cooling method are shown, natural oil-air cooling (ONAN or OA) is implied for oil-immersed transformers. If two ratings are shown, forced-air cooling (ONAF or FA) in one or two steps is applicable. For cast resin transformers, natural air cooling (AN) is standard. Forced air cooling (AF) is also applicable.

Temperature rise

In accordance with IEC-76 the standard temperature rise for oil-immersed power and distribution transformers is: ■ 65 K average winding temperature (measured by the resistance method) ■ 60 K top oil temperature (measured by thermometer) The standard temperature rise for Siemens cast-resin transformers is ■ 100 K (insulation class F) at HV and LV winding. Whereby the standard ambient temperatures are defined as follows: ■ 40 °C maximum temperature, ■ 30 °C average on any one day, ■ 20 °C average in any one year, ■ –25 °C lowest temperature outdoors, ■ –5 °C lowest temperature indoors. Higher ambient temperatures require a corresponding reduction in temperature rise, and thus affect price or rated power as follows: ■ 1.5% surcharge for each 1 K above standard temperature conditions, or ■ 1.0% reduction of rated power for each 1 K above standard temperature conditions. These adjustment factors are applicable up to 15 K above standard temperature conditions.

Connections and vector groups Distribution transformers The transformers listed in this guide are all three-phase transformers with one set of windings connected in star (wye) and the other one in delta, whereby the neutral of the star-connected winding is fully rated and brought to the outside.
The primary winding (HV) is normally connected in delta, the secondary winding (LV) in wye. The electrical offset of the windings in respect to each other is either 30, 150 or 330 degrees standard (Dy1, Dy5, Dy11). Other vector groups as well as single-phase transformers and autotransformers on request (Fig. 3). Power transformers Generator transformers and large power transformers are usually connected in Yd. For HV windings higher than 110 kV, the neutral has a reduced insulation level. For star/star-connected transformers and autotransformers normally a tertiary winding in delta, whose rating is a third of that of the transformer, has to be added. This stabilizes the phase-to phase voltages in the case of an unbalanced load and prevents the displacement of the neutral point. Single-phase transformers and autotransformers are used when the transportation possibilities are limited. They will be connected at site to three-phase transformer banks.

Conversion to 60 Hz – possibilities All ratings in the selection tables of this guide are based on 50 Hz operation. For 60 Hz operation, the following options apply: ■ 1. Rated power and impedance voltage are increased by 10%, all other parameters remain identical. ■ 2. Rated power increases by 20%, but no-load losses increase by 30% and noise level increases by 3 dB, all other parameters remain identical (this layout is not possible for cast-resin transformers). ■ 3. All technical data remain identical, price is reduced by 5%. ■ 4. Temperature rise is reduced by 10 K, load losses are reduced by 15%, all other parameters remain identical.
Transformer cell (indoor installation) The transformer cell must have the necessary electrical clearances when an open air connection is used. The ventilation system must be large enough to fulfill the recommendations for the maximum temperatures according to IEC. For larger power transformers either an oil/water cooling system has to be used or the oil/air cooler (radiator bank) has to be installed outside the transformer cell. In these cases a ventilation system has to be installed also to remove the heat caused by the convection of the transformer tank.

The sharply increased cost of electrical energy has made it almost mandatory for buyers of electrical machinery to carefully evaluate the inherent losses of these items. In case of distribution and power transformers, which operate continuously and most frequently in loaded condition, this is especially important. As an example, the added cost of loss-optimized transformers can in most cases be recovered via savings in energy use in less than three years. Low-loss transformers use more and better materials for their construction and thus initially cost more. By stipulating loss evaluation figures in the transformer inquiry, the manufacturer receives the necessary incentive to provide a loss-optimized transformer rather than the lowcost model. Detailed loss evaluation methods for transformers have been developed and are described accurately in the literature, taking the project-specific evaluation factors of a given customer into account. The following simplified method for a quick evaluation of different quoted transformer losses is given, making the following assumptions: ■ The transformers are operated continuously ■ The transformers operate at partial load, but this partial load is constant ■ Additional cost and inflation factors are not considered ■ Demand charges are based on 100% load. The total cost of owning and operating a transformer for one year is thus defined as follows: ■ A. Capital cost Cc taking into account the purchase price Cp, the interest rate p, and the depreciation period n ■ B. Cost of no-load loss CP0, based on the no-load loss P0, and energy cost Ce ■ C. Cost of load loss Cpk, based on the copper loss Pk, the equivalent annual load factor a, and energy cost Ce ■ D. Demand charges Cd, based on the amount set by the utility, and the total kW of connected load. These individual costs are calculated as follows:
A. Capital cost
Cc = Cp
Cp · r

p · qn = depreciation factor qn – 1 p q= + 1 = interest factor 100

CP0 = 0.25 · 8760 · 2.6 = DM 5694/year
CP0 = 0.25 · 8760 · 1.7 = DM 3 723/year
CPk = 0.25 · 8760 · 0.64 · 20 = DM 28 032/year
CPk = 0.25 · 8760 · 0.64 · 17 = DM 23 827/year
CD = 350 · (2.6 + 20) = DM 7910/year
CD = 350 · (1.7 + 17) = DM 6 545/year

electrical sheet steel insulated on both sides, core-type. Windings consisting of copper section wire or copper strip. The insulation has a high disruptive strength and is temperature-resistant, thus guaranteeing a long service life. Designed to withstand short circuit for at least 2 seconds (IEC). Oil-filled tank designed as tank with strong corrugated walls or as radiator tank. Transformer base with plain or flanged wheels (skid base available). Cooling/insulation liquid: Mineral oil according to VDE 0370/IEC 296. Silicone oil or synthetic liquids are available. Standard coating for indoor installation. Coatings for outdoor installation and for special applications (e.g. aggressive atmosphere) are available.
Tank design and oil preservation system Sealed-tank distribution transformers, TUMETIC® In ratings up to 2500 kVA and 170 kV LI this is the standard sealed-tank distribution transformer without conservator and gas cushion. The TUMETIC transformer is always completely filled with oil; oil expansion is taken up by the flexible corrugated steel tank (variable volume tank design), whereby the maximum operating pressure remains at only a fraction of the usual. These transformers are always shipped completely filled with oil and sealed for their lifetime. Bushings can be exchanged from the outside without draining the oil below the top of the active part. The hermetically sealed system prevents oxygen, nitrogen, or humidity from contact with the insulating oil. This improves the aging properties of the oil to the extent that no maintenance is required on these transformers for their lifetime. Generally the TUMETIC transformer is lower than the TUNORMA transformer. This design has been in successful service since 1973. A special TUMETIC-Protection device has been developed for this transformer.

Distribution transformers with conservator, TUNORMA® This is the standard distribution transformer design in all ratings. The oil level in the tank and the top-mounted bushings is kept constant by a conservator vessel or expansion tank mounted at the highest point of the transformer. Oil-level changes due to thermal cycling affect the conservator only. The ambient air is prevented from direct contact with the insulating oil through oiltraps and dehydrating breathers. Tanks from 50 to approximately 4000 kVA are preferably of the corrugated steel design, whereby the sidewalls are formed on automatic machines into integral cooling pockets. Suitable spot welds and braces render the required mechanical stability. Tank bottom and cover are fabricated from rolled and welded steel plate. Conventional radiators are available. Power transformers Power transformers of all ratings are equipped with conservators. Both the open and closed system are available. With the closed system ”TUPROTECT®“ the oil does not come into contact with the surrounding air. The oil expansion is compensated with an air bag. (This design is also available for greater distribution transformers on request). The sealing bag consists of strong nylon braid with a special double lining of ozone and oil-resistant nitrile rubber. The interior of this bag is in contact with the ambient air through a dehydrating breather; the outside of this bag is in direct contact with the oil. All tanks, radiators and conservators (incl. conservator with airbag) are designed for vacuum filling of the oil. For transformers with on-load tap changers a seperate smaller conservator is necessary for the diverter switch compartment. This seperate conservator (without air bag) is normally an integrated part of the main conservator with its own magnetic oil level indicator. Power transformers up to 10 MVA are fitted with weld-on radiators and are shipped extensively assembled; shipping conditions permitting. Ratings above 10 MVA require detachable radiators with individual butterfly valves, and partial dismantling of components for shipment. All the usual fittings and accessories for oil treatment, shipping and installation of these transformers are provided as standard. For monitoring and protective devices, see the listing on page 5/11.

Connection Systems
Distribution transformers 1
All Siemens transformers have top-mounted HV and LV bushings according to DIN in their standard version. Besides the open bushing arrangement for direct connection of bare or insulated wires, three basic insulated termination systems are available:
2
Fully enclosed terminal box for cables (Fig. 11) Available for either HV or LV side, or for both. Horizontally split design in degree of protection IP 44 or IP 54. (Totally enclosed and fully protected against contact with live parts, plus protection against drip, splash, or spray water.) Cable installation through split cable glands and removable plates facing diagonally downwards. Optional conduit hubs. Suitable for single-core or three-phase cables with solid dielectric insulation, with or without stress cones. Multiple cables per phase are terminated on auxiliary bus structures attached to the bushings. Removal of transformer by simply bending back the cables.

The most frequently used type of connection for transformers is the outdoor bushing. Depending on voltage, current, system conditions and transport requirements, the transformers will be supplied with bushings arranged vertically, horizontally or inclined. Up to about 110 kV it is usual to use oil-filled bushings according to DIN; condenser bushings are normally used for higher voltages. Limited space or other design considerations often make it necessary to connect cables directly to the transformer. For voltages up to 30 kV air-filled cable boxes are used. For higher voltages the boxes are oil-filled. They may be attached to the tank cover or to its walls (Fig. 14). The space-saving design of SF6-insulated switchgear is one of its major advantages. The substation transformer is connected directly to the SF6 switchgear. This eliminates the need for an intermediate link (cable, overhead line) between transformer and system (Fig. 15).

Accessories and Protective Devices Accessories not listed completely. Deviations are possible.
Double-float Buchholz relay (Fig. 16) For sudden pressure rise and gas detection in oil-immersed transformer tanks with conservator. Installed in the connecting pipe between tank and conservator and responding to internal arcing faults and slow decomposition of insulating materials. Additionally, backup function of oil alarm. The relay is actuated either by pressure waves or gas accumulation, or by loss of oil below the relay level. Seperate contacts are installed for alarm and tripping. In case of a gas accumulation alarm, gas samples can be drawn directly at the relay with a small chemical testing kit. Discoloring of two liquids indicates either arcing byproducts or insulation decomposition products in the oil. No change in color indicates an air bubble.

For use on hermetically sealed TUMETIC distribution transformers. Gives alarm upon loss of oil and gas accumulation. Mounted directly at the (permanently sealed) filler pipe of these transformers.
2 Pressure relief device (Fig. 20) Relieves abnormally high internal pressure shock waves. Easily visible operation pointer and alarm contact. Reseals positively after operation and continues to function without operator action.
3
Dehydrating breather (Fig. 21, 22) A dehydrating breather removes most of the moisture from the air which is drawn into the conservator as the transformer cools down. The absence of moisture in the air largely eliminates any reduction in the breakdown strength of the insulation and prevents any buildup of condensation in the conservator. Therefore, the dehydrating breather contributes to safe and reliable operation of the transformer.

Losses The standard HD 428.1.S1 (= DIN 42500 Part 1) applies to three-phase oil-immersed distribution transformers 50 Hz, from 50 kVA to 2500 kVA, Um to 24 kV. For load losses (Pk), three different listings (A, B and C) were specified. There were also three listings (A’, B’ and C’) for no-load losses (P0) and corresponding sound levels. Due to the different requirements, pairs of values were proposed which, in the national standard, permit one or several combinations of losses. DIN 42500 specifies the combinations A-C’, C-C’ and B-A’ as being most suitable.
The combinations B-A’ (normal losses) and A-C’ (reduced losses) are approximately in line with previous standards. In addition there is the C-C’ combination. Transformers of this kind with additionally reduced losses are especially economical with energy (maximum efficiency > 99%). The higher costs of these transformers are counteracted by the energy savings which they make. Standard HD 428.3.S1 (= DIN 42500-3) specifies the losses for oil distribution transformers up to Um = 36 kV. For load losses the listings D and E, for no-load losses the listings D’ and E’ were specified. In order to find the most efficient transformer, please see part ”Transformer loss evaluation“.

Cooling methods

Transformers up to 10 MVA are designed for ONAN cooling. By adding fans to these transformers, the rating can be increased by 25%. However, in general it is more economical to select higher ONAN ratings rather than to add fans. Transformers larger than 10 MVA are designed with ONAN/ONAF cooling. Explanation of cooling methods: ■ ONAN: Oil-natural, air-natural cooling ■ ONAF: Oil-natural, air-forced cooling (in one or two steps) The arrangement with the attached radiators, as shown in the illustrations, is the preferred design. However, other arrangements of the cooling equipment are also possible. Depending on transportation possibilities the bushings, radiators and expansion tank have be removed. If necessary, the oil has to be drained and shipped separately.
Note: Off-load tap changers are designed to be operated de-energized only.

Power Transformers above 100 MVA
The power rating range above 100 MVA comprises mainly generator transformers and system-interconnecting transformers with off-load and/or on-load tap changers. Depending on the on-site requirements, they can be designed as transformers with separate windings or as autotransformers, threeor single-phase, for power ratings up to over 1000 MVA and voltages up to 1500 kV. We manufacture these units according to IEC 76, VDE 0532 or other national specifications. Offers for transformers larger than 100 MVA only on request.

Power Transformers Monitoring System
Siemens Monitoring System: Efficient Condition Recording and Diagnosis for Power Transformers
1
2
Complete acquisition and evaluation of up to 45 measured variables, automatic trend analysis, diagnosis and early warning – the new Siemens Monitoring System makes use of all possible ways of monitoring power transformers: Round the clock, with precision sensors for voltage, temperature or quality of insulation, and with powerful software for measured data processing, display or documentation – with on-line communication over any distance. Maintenance and utilization of power transformers are made more efficient all-round. Because the comprehensive information provided on the condition of the equipment and auxiliaries ensures that maintenance is carried out just where it's needed, costly routine inspections are a thing of the past. And because the maintenance is always preventive, faults are reliably ruled out. All these advantages enhance availability – and thus ensure a long service life of your power transformers. This applies equally to new and old transformers. Equipping new transformers with the Siemens Monitoring System ensures that right from the start the user is in possession of all essential data–for quick, comprehensive analysis. And retrofitting on transformers already in service for considerable periods pays off as well. Particularly in the case of old transformers, constant monitoring significantly reduces the growing risk of failure. Offers for transformers larger 100 MVA only on request.

The on-load tap changers installed in Siemens power transformers are manufactured by Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen (MR). MR is a supplier of technically advanced on-load tap changers for oil-immersed power transformers covering an application range from 100 A to 4,500 A and up to 420 kV. About 90,000 MR high-speed resistor-type tap changers are succesfully in service worldwide. The great variety of tap changer models is based on a modular system which is capable of meeting the individual customer’s specifications for the respective operating conditions of the transformer. Depending on the required application range selector, switches or diverter switches with tap selectors can be used, both available for neutral, delta or single-pole connection. Up to 107 operating positions can be achieved by the use of a multiple course tap selector. In addition to the well-known on-load tapchanger for installation in oil-immersed transformers, MR offers also a standardized gas-insulated tap changer for indoor installation which will be mounted on drytype transformers up to approx. 30 MVA and 36 kV, or SF6-type transformers up to 40 MVA and 123 kV. The main characteristics of MR products are: ■ Compact design ■ Optimum adaption and economic solutions offered by the great number of variants ■ High reliability ■ Long life ■ Reduced maintenance ■ Service friendliness The tap changers are mechanically driven – via the drive shafts and the bevel gear – by a motor drive attached to the transformer tank. It is controlled according to the step-by-step principle. Electrical and mechanical safety devices prevent overrunning of the end positions. Further safety measures, such as the automatic restart function, a safety circuit to prevent false phase sequence and running through positions, ensure the reliable operation of motor drives.
For operation under extremely onerous conditions an oil filter unit is available for filtering or filtering and drying of the switching oil. Voltage monitoring is effected by microprocessor-controlled operation control systems or voltage regulators which include a great variety of data input and output facilities. In combination with a parallel control unit, several transformers connected in parallel can be automatically controlled and monitored. Furthermore, Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen offers a worldwide technical service to maintain their high quality standard. Inspections at regular intervals with only small maintenance requirements guarantee the reliable operation expected with MR products.

Cast-resin Dry-type Transformers, GEAFOL
Standards and regulations GEAFOL® cast-resin dry-type transformers comply with IEC recommendation No. 726, CENELEC HD 464, HD 538 and DIN 42 523. Advantages and applications GEAFOL distribution and power transformers in ratings from 100 to more than 20 000 kVA and LI values up to 170 kV are full substitutes for oil-immersed transformers with comparable electrical and mechanical data. GEAFOL transformers are designed for indoor installation close to their point of use at the center of the major consumers.
They only make use of flame-retardent inorganic insulating materials which free these transformers from all restrictions that apply to oil-filled electrical equipment, such as oil-collecting pits, fire walls, fireextinguishing equipment, etc. GEAFOL transformers are installed wherever oil-filled units cannot be used: inside buildings, in tunnels, on ships, cranes and offshore platforms, in ground-water catchment areas, in food processing plants, etc. Often they are combined with their primary and secondary switchgear and distribution boards into compact substations that are installed directly at their point of use. As thyristor-converter transformers for variable speed drives they can be installed together with the converters at the drive
location. This reduces civil works, cable costs, transmission losses, and installation costs. GEAFOL transformers are fully LI-rated. They have similar noise levels to comparable oil-filled transformers. Taking the above indirect cost reductions into account, they are also frequently cost-competitive. By virtue of their design, GEAFOL transformers are completely maintenance-free for their lifetime. GEAFOL transformers have been in successful service since 1965. A lot of licenses have been granted to major manufactures throughout the world since.

The high-voltage windings are wound from aluminum foil, interleaved with highgrade polypropylene insulating foil. The assembled and connected individual coils are placed in a heated mold, and are potted in a vaccum furnace with a mixture of pure silica (quartz sand) and specially blended epoxy resins. The only connections to the outside are copper bushings, which are internally bonded to the aluminum winding connections. The external star or delta connections are made of insulated copper connectors to guarantee an optimal installation design. The resulting high-voltage windings are fire-resistant, moistureproof, corrosionproof, and show excellent aging properties under all indoor operating conditions. (For outdoor use, specially designed sheetmetal enclosures are available.) The foil windings combine a simple winding technique with a high degree of electrical safety. The insulation is subjected to less electrical stress than in other types of windings. In a conventional round-wire winding, the interturn voltage can add up to twice the interlayer voltage, while in a foil winding it never exeeds the voltage per turn because a layer consists of only one winding turn. Result: a high AC voltage and impulse-voltage withstand capacity. Why aluminum? The thermal expansion coefficients of aluminum and cast resin are so similar that thermal stresses resulting from load changes are kept to a minimum (see Fig. 50).

The standard low-voltage winding with its considerably reduced dielectric stresses is wound from single aluminum sheets with interleaved cast-resin impregnated fiberglass fabric. The assembled coils are then oven-cured to form uniformly bonded solid cylinders that are impervious to moisture. Through the single-sheet winding design, excellent dynamic stability under short-circuit conditions is achieved. Connections are submerged-arc-welded to the aluminum sheets and are extended either as aluminum or copper busbars to the secondary terminals.

Cast-resin Dry-type Transformers, GEAFOL
Fire safety GEAFOL transformers use only flameretardent and self-extinguishing materials in their construction. No additional substances, such as aluminum oxide trihydrate, which could negatively influence the mechanical stability of the cast-resin molding material, are used. Internal arcing from electrical faults and externally applied flames do not cause the transformers to burst or burn. After the source of ignition is removed, the transformer is self-extinguishing. This design has been approved by fire officials in many countries for installation in populated buildings and other structures. The environmental safety of the combustion residues has been proven in many tests. Categorization of cast-resin transformers Dry-type transformers have to be categorized under the sections listed below: ■ Environmental category ■ Climatic category ■ Fire category These categories have to be shown on the rating plate of each dry-type transformer.
The properties laid down in the standards for ratings within the approximate category relating to environment (humidity), climate and fire behavior have to be demonstrated by means of tests. These tests are described for the environmental category (code number E0, E1 and E2) and for the climatic category (code number C1, C2) in DIN VDE 0532 Part 6 (corresponding to HD 464). According to this standard, they are to be carried out on complete transformers. The tests of fire behavior (fire category code numbers F0 and F1) are limited to tests on a duplication of a complete transformer. It consists of a core leg, a low-voltage winding and a high-voltage winding. The specifications for fire category F2 are determined by agreement between the manufacturer and the customer. Siemens have carried out a lot of tests. The results for our GEAFOL transformers are something to be proud of: ■ Environmental category E2 ■ Climatic category C2 ■ Fire category F1 This good behavior is solely due to the GEAFOL cast-resin mix which has been used successfully for decades.
Insulation class and temperature rise The high-voltage winding and the lowvoltage winding utilize class F insulating materials with a mean temperature rise of 100 K (standard design).
1
Overload capability
2
GEAFOL transformers can be overloaded permanently up to 50% (with a corresponding increase in impedance voltage) if additional radial cooling fans are installed. (Dimensions increase by approximately 200 mm in length and width.) Short-time overloads are uncritical as long as the maximum winding temperatures are not exceeded for extended periods of time.
4
Temperature monitoring Each GEAFOL transformer is fitted with three temperature sensors installed in the LV winding, and a solid-state tripping device with relay output. The PTC thermistors used for sensing are selected for the applicable maximum hot-spot winding temperature. Additional sets of sensors with lower temperature points can be installed for them and for fan control purposes. Additional dial-type thermometers and Pt100 are available, too. For operating voltages of the LV winding of 3.6 kV and higher, special temperature measuring equipment can be provided. Auxiliary wiring is run in protective conduit and terminated in a central LV terminal box (optional). Each wire and terminal is identified, and a wiring diagram is permanently attached to the inside cover of this terminal box.
Indoor installation in electrical operating rooms or in various sheet-metal enclosures is the preferred method of installation. The transformers need only be protected against access to the terminals or the winding surfaces, against direct sunlight, and against water. Sufficient ventilation must be provided by the installation location or the enclosure. Otherwise forced-air cooling must be specified or provided by others.

Instead of the standard open terminals, insulated plug-type elbow connectors can be supplied for the high-voltage side with LI ratings up to 170 kV. Primary cables are usually fed to the transformer from trenches below, but can also be connected from above. Secondary connections can be made by multiple insulated cables, or by busbars, from either below or above. Secondary terminals are either aluminum or copper busbar stubs, drilled to specification. A variety of indoor and outdoor enclosures in different protection classes are available for the transformers alone, or for indoor compact substations in conjunction with high- and low-voltage switchgear cubicles. Recycling of GEAFOL transformers Of all the GEAFOL transformers manufactured since 1965, even the oldest units are not about to reach the end of their service life expectancy. In spite of this, a lot of experiences have been made over the years with the recycling of coils that have become unusable due to faulty manufacture or damage. These experiences show that all the metallic components, i.e. approx. 90% of all materials, can be fully recovered economically. The recycling method used by Siemens does not pollute the environment. In view of the value of the secondary raw materials, the procedure can be economical even considering the currently small amounts.

Special Transformers
GEAFOL cast-resin transformers with oil-free tap-changers The voltage-regulating cast-resin transformers connected on the load side of the medium-voltage power supply system feed the plant-side distribution transformers. The tap-changer-controlled transformers used in these medium-voltage systems need to have appropriately high ratings. Siemens offers suitable transformers in its GEAFOL design which has proved successful over many years and is available in ratings of up to 20 MVA. With forced cooling it is even possible to increase the power ratings still further by 40%. The range of rated voltage extends to 36 kV and the maximum impulse voltage is 200 kV. The main applications of this type of transformer are in modern industrial plants, hospitals, office and appartment blocks and shopping centers.
Linking single-pole tap-changer modules together in threes by means of insulating shafts produces a triple-pole tap-changer in either star or delta connection for regulating the output voltage of GEAFOL transformers. In its nine operating positions, this type of tap-changer has a rated through-current of 500 A and a rated voltage of 900 V per step. This allows voltage fluctuations of up to 8100 V to be kept under control. However, the maximum control range utilizes only 20% of the rated voltage.

Transformers for thyristor converters These are special oil-immersed or castresin power transformers that are designed for the special demands of thyristor converter or diode rectifier operation. The effects of such conversion equipment on transformers and additional construction requirements are as follows: ■ Increased load by harmonic currents ■ Balancing of phase currents in multiple winding systems (e.g. 12-pulse systems) ■ Overload factor up to 2.5 ■ Types for 12-pulse systems, if required. Siemens supplies oil-filled converter transformers of all ratings and configurations known today, and dry-type cast-resin converter transformers up to more than 20 MVA and 200 kV LI. To define and quote for such transformers, it is necessary to know considerable details on the converter to be supplied and on the line feeding it. These transformers are almost exclusively inquired together with the respective drive or rectifier system and are always custom-engineered for the given application.
Neutral grounding transformers 7

10
When a neutral grounding reactor or ground-fault neutralizer is required in a three-phase system and no suitable neutral is available, a neutral must be provided by using a neutral grounding transformer. Neutral grounding transformers are available for continuous operation or short-time operation. The zero impedance is normally low. The standard vector groups are zigzag or wye/delta. Some other vector groups are also possible. Neutral grounding transformers can be built by Siemens in all common power ratings. Normally, the neutral grounding transformers are built in oil-immersed design, however, they can also be built in cast-resin design.

Three trends have emerged in the sphere of substation secondary equipment: intelligent electronic devices (IEDs), open communication and operation with a PC. Numerical relays and cumputerized substation control are now state-of-the-art. The multitude of conventional, individual devices prevalent in the past as well as comprehensive parallel wiring are being replaced by a small number of multifunctional devices with serial connections.

In this respect, Siemens offers a uniform, universal technology for the entire functional scope of secondary equipment, both in the construction and connection of the devices and in their operation and communication. This results in uniformity of design, coordinated interfaces and the same operating concept being established throughout, whether in power system and generator protection, in measurement and recording systems, in substation control and protection or in telecontrol. All devices are highly compact and immune to interference, and are therefore also suitable for direct installation in switchgear cells. Furthermore, all devices and systems are largely self-monitoring, which means that previously costly maintenance can be reduced considerably.

Fig. 4: Siemens Protection and Substation Control comprises these systems and product ranges
System Protection Siemens offers a complete spectrum of multifunctional, numerical relays for all applications in the field of network and machine protection. Uniform design and electromagnetic-interference-free construction in metal housings with conventional connection terminals in accordance with public utility requirements assure simple system design and usage just as with conventional relays. Numerical measurement techniques ensure precise operation and necessitate less maintenance thanks to their continuous self-monitoring capability.
The integration of additional protection and other functions, such as real-time operational measurements, event and fault recording, all in one unit economizes on space, design and wiring costs. Setting and programming of the devices can be performed through the integral, plaintext, menu-guided operator display or by using the comfortable PC program DIGSI for Windows*. Open serial interfaces, IEC 870-5-103-compliant, allow free communication with higher level control systems, including those from other manufacturers. Connection to a Profibus substation LAN is optionally possible.
Thus the on-line measurements and fault data registered in the protective relays can be used for local and remote control or can be transmitted via telephone modem connections to the workplace of the service engineer. Siemens supplies individual devices as well as complete protection systems in factory finished cubicles. For complex applications, for example, in the field of extrahigh-voltage transmission, type and design test facilities are available together with an extensive and comprehensive network model using the most modern simulation and evaluation techniques.

Advantages for the user
The digital substation control systems SICAM and SINAUT LSA provide all control, measurement and automation functions (e.g. transformer tap changing) required by a switching station. They operate with distributed intelligence. Communication between feeder-located devices and central unit is made via interferencefree fiber optic connections. Devices are extremely compact and can be built directly into medium and high-voltage switchgear. To input data, set and program the system, the unique PC programs SICAM PlusTools and LSA-TOOLS are available. Parameters and values are input at the central unit and downloaded to the field devices, thus ensuring error-free and consistent data transfer. The operator interface is menu-guided, with SCADA comparable functions, that is, with a level of convenience which was previously only available in a network control center. Optional telecontrol functions can be added to allow coupling of the system to one or more network control centers. In contrast to conventional controls, digital technology saves enormously on space and wiring. SICAM and LSA systems are subjected to full factory tests and are delivered in fully functional condition.
The digital interlocking system 8TK is used for important substations in particular with multiple busbar arrangements. It prevents false switching and provides an additional local bay control function which allows failsafe switching, even when the substation control system is not available. Therefore the safety of operating personnel and equipment is considerabely enhanced. The 8TK system can be used as a standalone interlocked control, or as back-up system together with the digital 6MB substation control.
The concept of ”Complete technology from one partner“ offers the user many advantages: ■ High-level security for his systems and operational rationalization possibilities – powerful system solutions with the most modern technology – compliance with international standards ■ Integration in the overall system SIPROTEC-SICAM-SIMATIC ■ Space and cost savings – integration of many functions into one unit and compact equipment packaging ■ Simple planning and secure operation – unified design, matched interfaces and EMI security throughout ■ Rationalized programming and handling – menu-guided PC Tools and unified keypads and displays ■ Fast, flexible mounting, reduced wiring ■ Simple, fast commissioning ■ Effective spare part stocking, high flexibility ■ High-level operational security and availability – continuous self-monitoring and proven technology: – 20 years digital relay experience (more than 150,000 units in operation) – 10 years of SINAUT LSA and SICAM substation control (more than 1500 systems in operation) ■ Rapid problem solving – comprehensive advice and fast response from local sales and workshop facilities worldwide.
Remote control Siemens remote control equipment 6MB55* and 6MD2010 fulfills all the classic functions of remote measurement and control. Furthermore, because of the powerful microprocessors with 32-bit technology, they provide comprehensive data preprocessing, automation functions and bulk storage of operational and fault information. In the classic case, connections to the switchgear are made through coupling relays and transducers. This method allows an economically favorable solution when modernizing or renewing the secondary systems in older installations. Alternatively, especially for new installations, direct connection is also possible. Digital protection devices can be connected by serial links through fiber-optic conductors. In addition, the functions ”operating and monitoring“ can be provided by the connection of a PC, thus raising the telecontrol unit to the level of a central station control system. Using the facility of nodal functions, it is also possible to build regional control points so that several substations can be controlled from one location.

Power Quality (Measurement, recording and power compensation) The SIMEAS product range offers equipment for the superversion of power supply quality (harmonic content, distortion factor, peak loads, power factor, etc.), fault recorders (Oscillostore), data logging printers and measurement transducers. Stored data can be transmitted manually or automatically to PC evaluation systems where it can be analyzed by intelligent programs. Expert systems are also applied here. This leads to rapid fault analysis and valuable indicators for the improvement of network reliability. For local bulk data storage and transmission, the central processor DAKON can be installed at substation level. Data transmission circuits for analog telephone or digital ISDN networks are incorporated as standard. Connection to local or wide-area networks (LAN, WAN) is equally possible. We also have the SIMEAS T series of compact and powerful measurement transducers with analog and digital outputs. The SIPCON Power Conditioner solves numerous system problems. It compensates (for example) unbalanced loads or system voltage dips and suppresses system harmonics. It performs these functions so that sensitive loads are assured of suitable voltage quality at all times. In addition, the system ist also capable of eliminating the perturbation produced by irregular loads. The use of SIPCON can enable energy suppliers worldwide to provide the end consumer with distinctive quality of supply.
Application hints All named devices and systems for protection, metering and control are designed to be used in the harsh environment of electrical substations, power plants and the various industrial application areas. When the devices were developed, special emphasis was placed on EMI. The devices are in accordance with IEC 60 255 standards. Detailed information is contained in the device manuals. Reliable operation of the devices is not affected by the usual interference from the switchgear, even when the device is mounted directly in a low-voltage compartment of a medium-voltage cubicle.

It must, however, be ensured that the coils of auxiliary relays located on the same panel, or in the same cubicle, are fitted with suitable spike quenching elements (e.g. free-wheeling diodes). When used in conjunction with switchgear for 100 kV or above, all external connection cables should be fitted with a screen grounded at both ends and capable of carrying currents. That means that the cross section of the screen should be at least 4 mm2 for a single cable and 2.5 mm2 for multiple cables in one cable duct. All equipment proposed in this guide is built-up either in closed housings (type 7XP20) or cubicles with protection degree IP 51 according to IEC 60 529: ■ Protected against access to dangerous parts with a wire ■ Sealed against dust ■ Protected against dripping water

Potential transformers (p.t.) in single- or double-pole design for all primary voltages have single or dual secondary windings of 100, 110 or 120 V/ 3, with output ratings between 10 and 300 VA, and accuracies of 0.2, 0.5 or 1% to suit the particular application. Primary BIL values are selected to match those of the associated switchgear. Current transformers
7

Current transformers (c.t.) are usually of the single-ratio type with wound or bartype primaries of adequate thermal rating. Single, dual or triple secondary windings of 1 or 5 A are standard. 1 A rating however should be preferred, particularly in HV and EHV stations, to reduce the burden of the connecting leads. Output power (rated burden in VA), accuracy and saturation characteristics (accuracy limiting factor) of the cores and secondary windings must meet the particular application. The c.t. classification code of IEC is used in the following: Measuring cores
10
They are normally specified with 0.5% or 1.0% accuracy (class 0.5 M or 1.0 M), and an accuracy limiting factor of 5 or 10. The required output power (rated burden) must be higher than the actually connected burden. Typical values are 5, 10, 15 VA. Higher values are normally not necessary when only electronic meters and recorders are connected. A typical specification could be: 0.5 M 10, 15 VA.
Protection cores: The size of the protection core depends mainly on the maximum short-circuit current and the total burden (internal c.t. burden, plus burden of connecting leads, plus relay burden). Further, an overdimensioning factor has to be considered to cover the influence of the d.c. component in the short-circuit current. In general, an accuracy of 1% (class 5 P) is specified. The accuracy limiting factor KALF should normally be designed so that at least the maximum short-circuit current can be transmitted without saturation (d.c. component not considered). This results, as a rule, in rated accuracy limiting factors of 10 or 20 dependent on the rated burden of the c.t. in relation to the connected burden. A typical specification for protection cores for distribution feeders is 5P10, 15 VA or 5P20, 10 VA. The requirements for protective current transformers for transient performance are specified in IEC 60044-6. The recommended calculation procedure for saturation-free design, however, leads to very high c.t. dimensions. In many practical cases, the c.t.s cannot be designed to avoid saturation under all circumstances because of cost and space reasons, particularly with metal-enclosed switchgear. The Siemens relays are therefore designed to tolerate c.t. saturation to a large extent. The numerical relays proposed in this guide are particularly stable in this case due to their integral saturation detection function.

C.t. design according to BS 3938 In this case the c.t. is defined by the kneepoint voltage UKN and the internal secondary resistance Ri. The design values according to IEC 60 185 can be approximately transferred into the BS standard definition by the following formula:
UKN =
(RNC + Ri) • I2N • KALF 1.3

C.t. design according to ANSI/IEEE C 57.13 Class C of this standard defines the c.t. by its secondary terminal voltage at 20 times nominal current, for which the ratio error shall not exceed 10%. Standard classes are C100, C200, C400 and C800 for 5 A nominal secondary current. This terminal voltage can be approximately calculated from the IEC data as follows:
Vs.t. max = 20 x 5 A x RBN •
KALF : Rated c.t. accuracy limiting factor K*ALF : Effective c.t. accuracy limiting factor RBN : Rated burden resistance RBC : Connected burden Ri : Internal c.t. burden (resistance of the c.t. secondary winding) with: K*ALF > KOF
The required c.t. accuracy-limiting factor KALF can be determined by calculation, as shown in Fig. 6. The overdimensioning factor KOF depends on the type of relay and the primary d.c. time constant. For the normal case, with short-circuit time constants lower than 100 ms, the necessary value for K*ALF can be taken from the table in Fig. 9. The recommended values are based on extensive type tests.

Relay burden
Burden of the connection leads
The c.t. burdens of the numerical relays of Siemens are below 0.1 VA and can therefore be neglected for a practical estimation. Exceptions are the busbar protection 7SS50 (1.5 VA) and the pilot wire relays 7SD502, 7SD600 (4 VA) and 7SD503 (3 VA + 9 VA per 100 Ohm pilot wire resistance). Intermediate c.t.s are normally no longer applicable as the ratio adaption for busbar and transformer protection is numerically performed in the relay. Analog static relays in gereral also have burdens below about 1 VA. Mechanical relays, however, have a much higher burden, up to the order of 10 VA. This has to be considered when older relays are connected to the same c.t. circuit. In any case, the relevant relay manuals should always be consulted for the actual burden values.
The resistance of the current loop from the c.t. to the relay has to be considered:

Introduction
SIPROTEC 3
Siemens is one of the world’s leading suppliers of protective equipment for power systems. Thousands of our relays ensure first-class performance in transmission and distribution networks on all voltage levels, all over the world, in countries of tropical heat or arctic frost. For many years, Siemens has also significantly influenced the development of protection technology. ■ In 1976, the first minicomputer (process computer)-based protection system was commissioned: A total of 10 systems for 110/20 kV substations were supplied and are still operating satisfactorily today. ■ Since 1985, we have been the first to manufacture a range of fully numerical relays with standardized communication interfaces. Today, Siemens offers a complete program of protective relays for all applications including numerical busbar protection. To date (1999), more than 150,000 numerical protection relays from Siemens are providing successful service, as standalone devices in traditional systems or as components of coordinated protection and substation control. Meanwhile, the innovative SIPROTEC 4 series has been launched, incorporating the many years of operational experience with thousands of relays, together with users’ requirements (power authority recommendations).

Modern protection management All the functions, for example, of a line protection scheme can be incorporated in one unit: ■ Distance protection with associated add-on and monitoring functions ■ Universal teleprotection interface ■ Autoreclose and synchronism check Protection-related information can be called up on-line or off-line, such as: ■ Distance to fault ■ Fault currents and voltages ■ Relay operation data (fault detector pickup, operating times etc.) ■ Set values ■ Line load data (kV, A, MW, kVAr) To fulfill vital protection redundancy requirements, only those functions which are interdependent and directly associated with each other are integrated in the same unit. For back-up protection, one or more additional units have to be provided.
All relays can stand fully alone. Thus, the traditional protection concept of separate main and alternate protection as well as the external connection to the switchyard remain unchanged. ”One feeder, one relay“ concept Analog protection schemes have been engineered and assembled from individual relays. Interwiring between these relays and scheme testing has been carried out manually in the workshop. Data sharing now allows for the integration of several protection and protection related tasks into one single numerical relay. Only a few external devices may be required for completion of the total scheme. This has significantly lowered the costs of engineering, assembly, panel wiring, testing and commissioning. Scheme failure probability has also been lowered. Engineering has moved from schematic diagrams towards a parameter definition procedure. The documentation is provided by the relay itself. Free allocation of LED operation indicators and output contacts provides more application design flexibility.

Measuring included For many applications, the protective-current transformer accuracy is sufficient for operational measuring. The additional measuring c.t. was more for protection of measuring instruments under system fault conditions. Due to the low thermal withstand ability of the measuring instruments, they could not be connected to the protection c.t.. Consequently, additional measuring c.t.s and measuring instruments are now only necessary where high accuracy is required, e.g. for revenue metering.

Modern system protection management A more versatile notebook PC may be used for upgraded protection management. The MS Windows-compatible relay operation program DIGSI is available for entering and readout of setpoints and archiving of protection data. The relays may be set in 2 steps. First, all relay settings are prepared in the office with the aid of a local PC and stored on a floppy or the hard disk. At site, the settings can then be downloaded from a PC into the relay. The relay confirms the settings and thus provides an unquestionable record. Vice versa, after a system fault, the relay memory can be uploaded to a PC, and comprehensive fault analysis can then take place in the engineer’s office. Alternatively, the total relay dialog can be guided from any remote location through a modem-telephone connection (Fig. 15).

Power System Protection Introduction
Relay data management Analog-distribution-type relays have some 20–30 setpoints. If we consider a power system with about 500 relays, then the number adds up to 10,000 settings. This requires considerable expenditure in setting the relays and filing retrieval setpoints. A personal computer-aided man-machine dialog and archiving program, e.g. DIGSI, assists the relay engineer in data filing and retrieval. The program files all settings systematically in substation-feeder-relay order. Corrective rather than preventive maintenance Numerical relays monitor their own hardware and software. Exhaustive self-monitoring and failure diagnostic routines are not restricted to the protective relay itself, but are methodically carried through from current transformer circuits to tripping relay coils. Equipment failures and faults in the c.t. circuits are immediately reported and the protective relay blocked. Thus, the service personnel are now able to correct the failure upon occurrence, resulting in a significantly upgraded availability of the protection system.

Adaptive relaying Numerical relays now offer secure, convenient and comprehensive matching to changing conditions. Matching may be initiated either by the relay’s own intelligence or from the outside world via contacts or serial telegrams. Modern numerical relays contain a number of parameter sets that can be pretested during commissioning of the scheme (Fig. 17). One set is normally operative. Transfer to the other sets can be controlled via binary inputs or serial data link. There are a number of applications for which multiple setting groups can upgrade the scheme performance, e.g. a) for use as a voltage-dependent control of o/c relay pickup values to overcome alternator fault current decrement to below normal load current when the AVR is not in automatic operation. b) for maintaining short operation times with lower fault currents, e.g. automatic change of settings if one supply transformer is taken out of service. c) for “switch-onto-fault” protection to provide shorter time settings when energizing a circuit after maintenance. The normal settings can be restored automatically after a time delay.

Numerical protection relays operate on the basis of numerical measuring principles. The analog measured values of current and voltage are decoupled galvanically from the plant secondary circuits via input transducers (Fig. 18). After analog filtering, the sampling and the analog-to-digital conversion take place. The sampling rate is, depending on the different protection principles, between 12 and 20 samples per period. With certain devices (e.g. generator protection) a continuous adjustment of the sampling rate takes place depending on the actual system frequency. The protection principle is based on a cyclic calculation algorithm, utilizing the sampled current and voltage analog measured values. The fault detections determined by this process must be established in several sequential calculations before protection reactions can follow. A trip command is transferred to the command relay by the processor, utilizing a dual channel control. The numerical protection concept offers a variety of advantages, especially with regard to higher security, reliability and user friendliness, such as: ■ High measurement accuracy: The high ultilization of adaptive algorithms produce accurate results even during problematic conditions ■ Good long-term stability: Due to the digital mode of operation, drift phenomena at components due to ageing do not lead to changes in accuracy of measurement or time delays ■ Security against over and underfunction With this concept, the danger of an undetected error in the device causing protection failure in the event of a network fault is clearly reduced when compared to conventional protection technology. Cyclical and preventive maintenance services have therefore become largely obsolete. The integrated self-monitoring system (Fig. 19) encompasses the following areas: – Analog inputs – Microprocessor system – Command relays.

Power System Protection Relay Design and Operation
Implemented Functions SIOPROTEC relays are available with a variety of protective functions. See relay charts (page 6/20 and following). The high processing power of modern numerical devices allow further integration of non-protective add-on functions.

The question as to whether separate or combined relays should be used for protection and control cannot be uniformly answered. In transmission type substations, separation into independent hardware units is still preferred, whereas on the distribution level a trend towards higher function integration can be observed. Here, combined feeder relays for protection, monitoring and control are on the march (Fig. 20).
3
4
Most of the relays of this guide are standalone protection relays. The exception in the SIPROTEC 3 series is the distribution feeder relay 7SJ531 that also integrates control functions. Per feeder, only one relay package ist needed in this case leading to a considerable reduction in space und wiring.
5
With the new SIPROTEC 4 series (types 7SJ61, 62 and 63), Siemens supports both stand-alone and combined solutions on the basis of a single hardware and software platform. The user can decide within wide limits on the configuration of the control and protection functions in the feeder, without compromising the reliability of the protection functions (Fig. 21).
Fig. 20: Switchgear with numerical relay (7SJ62) and traditional control
Switchgear with combined protection and control relay (7SJ63)
The following solutions are available within one relay family: ■ Separate control and protection relays ■ Protection relays including remote control of the feeder breaker via the serial communication link
■ Combined feeder relays for protection,
monitoring and control Mixed use of the different relay types is readily possible on account of the uniform operation and communication procedures.

Integration of relays in the substation automation Basically, Siemens numerical relays are all equipped with an interface to IEC 60870-5-103 for open communication with substation control systems either from Siemens (SINAUT LSA or SICAM, see page 6/71 ff) or of any other supplier. The relays of the newer SIPROTEC 4 series, however, are even more flexible and equipped with communication options. SIPROTEC 4 relays may also be connected to the SINAUT LSA system or to a system of another supplier via IEC 60870-5-103. But, SICAM 4 relays were originally designed as components of the new SICAM substation automation system, and their common use offers the most technical and cost benefits. SIPROTEC 4 protection and SICAM station control, which is based on SIMATIC, are of uniform design, and communication is based on the Profibus standard. SIPROTEC 4 relays can in this case be connected to the Profibus substation LAN of the SICAM system via one serial interface. Through a second serial interface, e.g. IEC 60 870-5-103, the relay can separately communicate with a remote PC via a modem-telephone line (Fig. 22).

Power System Protection Relay Design and Operation
DIGSI 4 the PC program for operating SIPROTEC 4 relays For the user, DIGSI is synonymous with convenient, user-friendly parameterizing and operation of digital protection relays. DIGSI 4 is a logical innovation for operation of protection and bay control units of the SIPROTEC 4 family. The PC operating program DIGSI 4 is the human-machine interface between the user and the SIPROTEC 4 units. It features modern, intuitive operating procedures. With DIGSI 4, the SIPROTEC 4 units ca be configured and queried. ■ The interface provides you only with what is really necessary, irrespective of which unit you are currently configuring. ■ Contextual menus for every situation provide you with made-to-measure functionality – searching through menu hierarchies is a thing of the past. ■ Explorer – operation on the MS Windows 95® Standard – shows the options in logically structured form. ■ Even with marshalling, you have the overall picture – a matrix shows you at a glance, for example, which LEDs are linked to which protection control function(s). It just takes a click with the mouse to establish these links by a fingertip. ■ Thus, you can also use the PC to link up with the relay via star coupler or channel switch, as well via the PROFIBUS® of a substation control system. The integrated administrating system ensures clear addressing of the feeders and relays of a substation. ■ Access authorization by means of passwords protects the individual functions, such as for example parameterizing, commissioning and control, from unauthorized access. ■ When configuring the operator environment and interfaces, we have attached importance to continuity with the SICAM automation system. This means that you can readily use DIGSI on the station control level in conjunction with SICAM. Thus, the way is open to the SIMATIC automation world.

Power System Protection Relay Design and Operation
Operation of SIPROTEC 3 Relays Most of the Siemens numerical relays belong to the series SIPROTEC 3. (Only the distribution protection relays 7SJ61/62, the combined protection and control relay 7SJ63 and the line protection 7SA522 are presently available in the version SIPROTEC 4). Both relay series are widely compatible and can be used together in protection and control systems. SIPROTEC 3 relays however are not applicable with PROFIBUS but only with the IEC 60870-5-103 communication standard. The operation of SIPROTEC 3 and 4 relays is very similar. Some novel features of the PC operating program DIGSI 4 like the CFC function and the graphical setting matrix are however not contained in DIGSI 3. Operation of SIPROTEC 3 relays via integral key pad and LCD display: Each parameter can be accessed and altered via the integrated operator panel or a PC connected to the front side serial communication interface. The setting values can be accessed directly via 4-digit addresses or by paging through the menu. The display appears on an alphanumeric LCD display with 2 lines with 16 characters per line. Also the rear side IEC 60870-5-103 compatible serial interface can be used for the relay dialog with a PC, when not occupied for the connection to a substation automation system. This rear side interface is in particular used for remote relay communication with a PC (see page 6/19). Most relays allow for the storage of several setting groups (in general 4) which can be activated via binary relay input, serial interface or operator panel. Binary inputs, alarm contact outputs, indicating LEDs and command output relays can be freely assigned to the internal relay functions.

DIGSI 3 the PC program for operating SIPROTEC 3 relays For setting of SIPROTEC 3 relays, the DIGSI 3 version is applicable. (Figs. 31 and 32). It is a WINDOWS-based program that allows comfortable user-guided relay setting, load monitoring and readout of stored fault reports, including oscillographic fault records. It is also a valuable tool for commissioning as it allows an online overview display of all measuring values. DIGSI comes with the program DIGRA for graphic display and evaluation of oscillographic fault records (see next page). For remote relay communication, the program WINDIMOD is offered (option). The DIGSI 3 program requires the following hardware and software platform:
Siemens Power Engineering Guide · Transmission and Distribution · 4th Edition
■ PC 386 SX or above, with at least
4 Mbytes Ram ■ 10 Mbytes hard-disc space for DIGSI 3 ■ 2 to 3 Mbytes additional hard-disc space
9
per installed protection device ■ One free serial interface to the protec-
tion device (COM 1 to COM 4) ■ One floppy disc drive 3.5", high density
with 1.44 Mbytes or CD ROM drive for program installation ■ WINDOWS version 3.1 or higher These requirements relate to the case when DIGSI 3 is used as stand-alone version. When used together with DIGSI 4, the requirements for DIGSI 4 apply. In this case DIGSI 3 and DIGSI 4 run under the common DIGSI 4 substation manager.

The evaluation of faults is simplified by numerical protection technology. In the event of a fault in the network, all events as well as the analog traces of the measured voltages and currents are recorded. The following types of memory are available: ■ 1 operational event memory Alarms that are not directly assigned to a fault in the network (e.g. monitoring alarms, alternation of a set value, blocking of the automatic reclose function). ■ 5 fault-event histories Alarms that occurred during the last 3 faults on the network (e.g. type of fault detection, trip commands, fault location, autoreclose commands). A reclose cycle with one or more reclosures is treated as one fault history. Each new fault in the network overrides the oldest fault history. ■ A memory for the fault recordings for voltage and current. Up to 8 fault recordings are stored. The fault recording memory is organized as a ring buffer, i.e. a new fault entry overrides the oldest fault record. ■ 1 earth-fault event memory (optional for isolated or resonant grounded networks) Event record of the sensitive earth fault detector (e.g. faulted phase, real component of residual current). The time tag attached to the fault-record events is a relative time from fault detection with a resolution of 1 ms. In the case of devices with integrated battery back-up clock, the operational events as well as the fault detection are assigned the internal clock time and date stamp. The memory for operational events and fault record events is protected against failure of auxiliary supply with battery back-up supply. The integrated operator interface or a PC supported by the programming tool DIGSI is used to retrieve fault reports as well as for the input of settings and marshalling.

Fig. 33: Display and evaluation of a fault record using DIGSI
Evaluation of the fault recording
Data security, data interfaces
Readout of the fault record from the protection device by DIGSI is done by faultproof scanning procedures in accordance with the standard recommendation for transmission of fault records. A fault record can also be read out repeatedly. In addition to analog values, such as voltage and current, binary tracks can also be transferred and presented. DIGSI is supplied together with the DIGRA (Digsi Graphic) program, which provides the customer with full graphical operating and evaluation functionality like that of the digital fault recorders (Oscillostores) from Siemens (see Fig. 33). Real-time presentation of analog disturbance records, overlaying and zooming of curves and visualization of binary tracks (e.g. trip command, reclose command, etc.) are also part of the extensive graphical functionality, as are setting of measurement cursors, spectrum analysis and fault resistance derivation.
DIGSI is a closed system as far as protection parameter security is concerned. The security of the stored data of the operating PC is ensured by checksums. This means that it is only possible to change data with DIGSI, which subsequently calculates a checksum for the changed data and stores it with the data. Changes in the data and thus in safety-related protection data are reliably detected. DIGSI is, however, also an open system. The data export function supports export of parameterization and marshalling data in standard ASCII format. This permits simple access to these data by other programs, such as test programs, without endangering the security of data within the DIGSI program system. With the import and export of fault records in IEEE standard format COMTRADE (ANSI), a high-performance data interface is produced which supports import and export of fault records into the DIGSI partner program DIGRA. This enables the export of fault records from Siemens protection units to customer-specific programs via the COMTRADE format.

Power System Protection Relay Design and Operation
Remote relay interrogation The numerical relay range of Siemens can also be operated from a remotely located PC via modem-telephone connection. Up to 254 relays can be addressed via one modem connection if the star coupler 7XV53 is used as a communication node (Fig. 34). The relays are connected to the star coupler via optical fiber links. Every protection device which belongs to a DIGSI substation structure has a unique address. The attached relays are always listening, but only the addressed one answers the operator command which comes from the central PC. If the relay located in a station is to be operated from a remote office, then a device file is opened in DIGSI and protection dialog is chosen via modem. After password input, DIGSI establishes a connection to the protection device after receiving a call-back from the system. In this way secure and timesaving remote setting and readout of data are possible. Diagnostics and control of test routines are also possible without the need to visit the substation.

Housing and terminal system The protection devices and the corresponding supplementary devices are available mainly in 7XP20 housings (Figs. 35 to 42). The dimension drawings are to be found on 6/36 and the following pages. Installing of the modules in a cubicle without the housing is not permissible. The width of the housing conforms to the 19" system with the divisions 1/6, 1/3, 1/2 or 1/1 of a 19" rack. The termination module is located at the rear of devices for panel flush mounting or cubicle mounting. For electrical connection, screwed terminals of the SIPROTEC 3 relay series and also parallel crimp contacts are provided. For field wiring, the use of the screwed terminals is recommended; snap-in connection requires special tools. To withdraw crimp contact terminations of the SIPROTEC 3 relay series the following tool is recommended: Extraction tool No. 135900 (from Weidmüller, Paderbornstrasse 157, D-32760 Detmold).

The heavy-duty current plug connectors provide automatic shorting of the c.t. circuits whenever the modules are withdrawn. This does not release from the care to be taken when c.t. secondary circuits are concerned. In the housing version for surface mounting, the terminations are wired up on terminal strips on the top and bottom of the device. For this purpose two-tier terminal blocks are used to attain the required number of terminals (Fig. 36 right). According to IEC 60529 the degree of protection is indicated by the identifying IP, followed by a number for the degree of protection. The first digit indicates the protection against accidental contact and ingress of solid foreign bodies, the second digit indicates the protection against water. 7XP20 housings are protected against access to dangerous parts by wire, dust and dripping water (IP 51).
Siemens Power Engineering Guide · Transmission and Distribution · 4th Edition
7 For mounting of devices into cubicles, the 8MC cubicle system is recommended. It is described in Siemens Catalog NV21. The standard cubicle has the following dimensions: 2200 mm x 900 mm x 600 mm (HxWxD). These cubicles are provided with a 44 U high mounting rack (standard height unit U = 44.45 mm). It can swivel as much as 180° in a swing frame. The rack provides for a mounting width of 19", allowing, for example, 2 devices with a width of 1/2 x 19" to be mounted. The devices in the 7XP20 housing are secured to rails by screws. Module racks are not required (see Fig. 65b on page 6/33).

General hints: – The relay at the far end (D) gets the shortest operating time. Relays further upstream have to be time-graded against the next downstream relay in steps of about 0.3 seconds. – Inverse-time curves can be selected according to the following criteria: – Definite time: source impedance large compared to the line impedance, i.e. small current variation between near and far end faults – Inverse time: Longer lines, where the fault current is much less at the end of the line than at the local end. – Very or extremely inverse time: Lines where the line impedance is large compared to the source impedance (high difference for close-in and remote faults) or lines, where coordination with fuses or reclosers is necessary. Steeper characteristics provide also higher stability on service restoration (cold load pick-up and transformer in rush currents)

Fuses
– The feeder relay operating characteristics, delay times and autoreclosure cycles must be carefully coordinated with downstream reclosers, sectionalizers and fuses. The instantaneous zone 50/50N is normally set to reach out to the first main feeder sectionalizing point. It has to ensure fast clearing of close-in faults and prevent blowing of fuses in this area (“fuse saving”). Fast autoreclosure is initiated in this case. Further time delayed tripping and reclosure steps (normally 2 or 3) have to be graded against the recloser. – The o/c relay should automatically switch over to less sensitive characteristics after longer breaker interruption times to enable overriding of subsequent cold load pick-up and transformer inrush currents.

– Distance teleprotection is proposed as main, and time graded directional O/C as backup protection. – The 67N function of 7SA511 provides additional high-resistance ground fault protection. It can be used in a directional comparison scheme in parallel with the 21/21N-function, but only in POTT mode. If the distance protection scheme operates in PUTT mode, 67N is only available as time-delayed function. – Recommended schemes: PUTT on medium and long lines with phase shift carrier or other secure communication channel. POTT on short lines. BLOCKING with On/Off carrier (all line lengths).

Power System Protection Typical Protection Schemes
Application criteria for frequently used teleprotection schemes
Permissive underreaching transferred tripping (PUTT) Preferred application
Signal transmission:
Line configuration:
Secure and dependable channel: ■ Frequency shift power line carrier (phase-tophase HF coupling to the protected line, better HF coupling to a parallel running line to avoid sending through the fault) ■ Microwave, in particular digital (PCM) ■ Fiber optic cables
Normally used with medium and long lines (7SA511/513 relays allow use also with short lines due to their independent X and R setting of all distance zones).
Advantages:
■ Simple method ■ Tripping of underrea-
ching zone does not depend on the channel (release signal from the remote line end not necessary). ■ No distance zone or time coordination between line ends necessary, i.e. this mode can easily be used with different relay types.
Drawbacks:
Permissive overreaching transferred tripping (POTT)
■ Short lines in particu-
lar when high fault resistance coverage is required ■ Multi-terminal and tapped lines with intermediate infeed effects
Blocking
Unblocking

■ Dependable chan-

■ Parallel, teed and
■ Distance zone and
tapped lines may cause underreach problems. Careful consideration of zerosequence coupling and intermediate infeed effects is necessary. ■ Not applicable with weak infeed terminals.
time coordination with remote line end relays necessary ■ Tripping depends on receipt of remote end signal (additional independent underreaching zone of 7SA511/ 513 relays avoids this problem). ■ Weak infeed supplement necessary
6 same as for POTT
same as for POTT
7
same as for POTT Except that a weak infeed supplement is not necessary No continuous online supervision of the channel possible!
Same as for POTT, however, loss of remote end signal does not completely block the protection scheme. Tripping is in this case released with a short time delay of about 20 ms (unblocking logic).

Note: 1) 51G only applicable with grounded reactor neutral. 2) If phase CTs at the low-voltage reactor side are not available, the high-voltage phase CTs and the CT in the neutral can be connected to a restricted ground fault protection using one 7VH80 high-impedance relay.
3
General hints:
4
– Distance relays are proposed as main 1 and main 2 protection. Duplicated 7SA513 is recommended for long (>100 km) and heavily loaded lines or series-compensated lines and in all cases where extreme short operating times are required due to system stability problems. 7SA513 as main 1 and 7SA511 as main 2 can be used in the normal case.
5
– Operating time of the 7SA513 relay is in the range of 15 to 25 ms dependent on the particular fault condition, while the operating time of the 7SA511 is 25 to 35 ms respectively. These tripping times are valid for faults in the underreaching distance zone (80 to 85% of the line length). Remote end faults must be cleared by the superimposed teleprotection scheme. Its overall operating time depends on the signal transmission time of the channel (typically 15 to 20 ms for frequency shift audio-tone PLC or Microwave channels, and lower than 10 ms for ON/OFF PLC or digital PCM signalling via optical fibres). Teleprotection schemes based on 7SA513 and 7SA511 have therefore operating times in the order of 40 ms and 50 ms each. With state-of-the-art twocycle circuit breakers, fault clearing times well below 100 ms (4 to 5 cycles) can normally be achived. – Dissimilar carrier schemes are recommended for main 1 and main 2 protection, for example PUTT, and POTT or Blocking/Unblocking
– Both 7SA513 and 7SA511 can practise selective single-pole and/or three-pole tripping and autoreclosure. The ground current directional comparison protection 67N of the 7SA513 relay uses phase selectors based on symmetrical components. Thus, single pole autoreclosure can also be practised with high-resistance faults. The 67N function of the 7SA511 relay should be used as time delayed directional O/C backup in this case. – The 67N functions are provided as highimpendance fault protection. 67N of the 7SA513 relay is normally used with an additional channel as separate carrier scheme. Use of a common channel with distance protection is only possible in the POTT mode. The 67N function in the 7SA511 is blocked when function 21/ 21N picks up. It can therefore only be used in parallel with the distance directional comparison scheme POTT using one common channel. Alternatively, it can be used as time-delayed backup protection.

General hints: – Digital PCM coded communication (with n x 64 kBit/s channels) between line ends is now getting more and more frequently available, either directly by optical or microwave point-to-point links, or via a general purpose digital communication network. In both cases, the unit-type current comparison protection 7SD511/12 can be applied. It provides absolute phase andzone selectivity by phase-segregated measurement, and is not affected by power swing or parallel line zero-sequence coupling effects. It is further a current-only protection that does not need VT connection. For this reason, the adverse effects of CVT transients are not applicable. This makes it in particular suitable for double and multicircuit lines where complex fault situations can occur. Pilot wire protection can only be applied to short lines or cables due to the inherent limitation of the applied measuring principle. The 7SD511/12 can be applied to lines up to about 20 km in direct relay-to-relay connection via dedicated optical fiber cores (see also application 5), and also to much longer distances up to about 100 km by using separate PCM devices for optical fiber or microwave transmission. The 7SD511/512 then uses only a small part (64 kBit/s) of the total transmission capacity being in the order of Mbits/s. – The unit protection 7SD511 can be combined with the distance relay 7SA513 or 7SA511 to form a redundant protection system with dissimilar measuring principles complementing each other. This provides the highest degree of availability. Also, separate signal transmission ways should be used for main 1 and main 2 protection, e.g. optical fiber or micro-wave, and power line carrier (PLC). 1. The criteria for selection of 7SA513 or 7SA511 are the same as discussed in application 8. The current comparison protection has a typical operating time of 25 ms for faults on 100% line length including signalling time.

Notes: 1) When the line is switched off and the line isolator is open, high through-faultcurrents in the diameter may cause maloperation of the distance relay due to unequal CT errors (saturation). Normal practice is therefore to block the distance protection (21/21N) and the directional ground fault protection (67N) under this condition via an auxiliary contact of the line isolator. Instead, a standby overcurrent function (50/50N, 51/51N) is released to protect the remaining stub between the breakers (“stub“protection). 2) Overvoltage protection only with 7SA513

General hints: – The protection functions of one diameter of a breaker-and-a-half arrangement are shown. – The currents of two CTs have each to be summed up to get the relevant line current as input for main 1 and 2 line protection.

– The location of the CTs on both sides of the circuit-breakers is typical for substations with dead-tank breakers. Live-tank breakers may have CTs only on one side to reduce cost. A Fault between circuit breakers and CT (end fault) may then still be fed from one side even when the breaker has opened. Consequently, final fault clearing by cascaded tripping has to be accepted in this case. The 7SV512 relay provides the necessary end fault protection function and trips the breakers of the remaining infeeding circuits.
– For the selection of the main 1 and main 2 line protection schemes, the comments of application examples 8 and 9 apply. – Autoreclosure (79) and synchrocheck function (25) are each assigned directly to the circuit breakers and controlled by main 1 and 2 line protection in parallel. In case of a line fault, both adjacent breakers have to be tripped by the line protection. The sequence of automatic reclosure of both breakers or, alternatively, the automatic reclosure of only
one breaker and the manual closure of the other breaker, may be made selectable by a control switch. – A coordinated scheme of control circuits is necessary to ensure selective tripping, interlocking and reclosing of the two breakers of one line (or transformer feeder). – The voltages for synchrochecking have to be selected according to the breaker and isolator positions by a voltage replica circuit.

Notes: 1) The zero-sequence current must be blocked from entering the differential relay by a delta winding in the CT connection on the transformer sides with grounded winding neutral. This is to avoid false operation with external ground faults (numerical relays provide this function by calculation). About 30% sensitivity, however, is then lost in case of internal faults. Optionally, the zero-sequence current can be regained by introducing the winding neutral current in the differential relay (87T). Relay type 7UT513 provides two current inputs for this purpose. By using this feature, the ground fault sensitivity can be upgraded again to its original value. 2) Restricted ground fault protection (87T) is optional. It provides back-up protection for ground faults and increased ground fault sensitivity (about 10%IN, compared to about 20 to 30%IN of the transformer differential relay). Separate class X CT-cores with equal transmission ratio are additionally required for this protection.

General hint: – In this example, the transformer feeds two different distribution networks with cogeneration. Restraining differential relay inputs are therefore provided at each transformer side. If both distribution networks only consume load and no through-feed is possible from one MV network to the other, parallel connection of the CTs of the two MV transformer windings is admissible allowing the use of a two-winding differential relay (7UT512).

– The transformer bank is connected in a 11/2 breaker arrangement. Duplicated differential protection is proposed: Main 1: Low-impedance differential protection 87TL (7UT513) connected to the transformer bushing CTs. Main 2: High-impedance overall differential protection 87TH (7VH83). Separate class X cores and equal CT ratios are required for this type of protection. – Back-up protection is provided by distance relays (7SA513 and 7SA511), each “looking“ with an instantaneous first zone about 80% into the transformer and with a time-delayed zone beyond the transformer. – The tertiary winding is assumed to feed a small station supply network with isolated neutral.

– In practice, efforts are generally made to protect about 90% of the machine winding, measured from the machine terminals. The full ground current for a terminal fault must then be ten times the setting value which corresponds to the fault current of a fault at 10% distance from the machine neutral. For the most sensitive setting of 2 mA, we need therefore 20 mA secondary ground current, corresponding to (60/1) x 20 mA = 1.2 A primary. This current may be delivered by the network ground capacitances if enough cables are contained. In this case, the directional ground fault protection (67G) has to be set to reactive power measurement (U x I x sin w). If sufficient capacitive ground current is not available, a grounding transformer with resistive zero-sequence load can be installed as ground current source at the station busbar. The 67G function has in this case to be set to active (wattmetric) power measurement (U x I x cosw). The smallest standard grounding transformer TGAG 3541 has a 20 s short time rating of PG = 27 kVA.

corresponding to a relay input current of 9.4 A x 1/60 = 156 mA. This would provide a 90% protection range with a setting of about 15 mA, allowing the use of 4 parallel connected core balance CTs. The resistance at the 500V open-delta winding of the grounding transformer would then have to be designed for RG = USEC2 / PG = 500 V2 / 27,000 VA = 9.26 Ohm (27 KW, 20 s). For a 5 MVA machine and 600/5 A CTs with special calibration for minimum residual false current, we would get a secondary current of IG SEC = 9.4 A /(600/5) = 78 mA. With a relay setting of 12 mA, the protection range would in this case be 12 100 (1- ––) = 85%. 78

Notes: 1) The standard core-balance CT 7XR96 has a transformation ratio of 60/1 A. 2) Instead of an open delta winding at the terminal VT, a single-phase VT at the machine neutral could be used as zerosequence polarizing voltage. 3) The grounding transformer is designed for a short-time rating of 20 seconds. To prevent overloading, the load resistor is automatically switched off by a time-delayed zero-sequence voltage relay (59G + 62) and a contactor (52). 4) During the startup time of the generator with open breaker, the grounding source is not available. To ensure ground fault protection during this time interval, an auxilliary contact of the breaker can be used to change over the directional ground fault relay function (67G) to a zero-sequence voltage detection function (59G) via a contact converter input.

Relay operating characteristics and their setting must be carefully coordinated in order to achieve selectivity. The aim is basically to switch off only the faulted component and to leave the rest of the power system in service in order to minimize supply interruptions and to assure stability. Sensivity

Protection should be as sensitive as possible to detect faults at the lowest possible current level. At the same time, however, it should remain stable under all permissible load, overload and through-fault conditions.

The pick-up values of phase o/c relays are normally set 30% above the maximum load current, provided that sufficient shortcircuit current is available. This practice is recommmended in particular for mechanical relays with reset ratios of 0.8 to 0.85. Numerical relays have high reset ratios near 0.95 and allow therefore about 10% lower setting. Feeders with high transformer and/or motor load require special consideration. Transformer feeders

Peak value of inrush current
The energizing of transformers causes inrush currents that may last for seconds, depending on their size (Fig. 113). Selection of the pickup current and assigned time delay have to be coordinated so that the rush current decreases below the relay o/c reset value before the set operating time has elapsed. The rush current typically contains only about 50% fundamental frequency component. Numerical relays that filter out harmonics and the DC component of the rush current can therefore be set more sensitive. The inrush current peak values of Fig. 113 will be nearly reduced to one half in this case. Ground-fault relays Residual-current relays enable a much more sensitive setting, as load currents do not have to be considered (except 4-wire circuits with single-phase load). In solidly and low-resistance grounded systems a setting of 10 to 20% rated load current is generally applied.

High-resistance grounding requires much more sensitive setting in the order of some amperes primary. The ground-fault current of motors and generators, for example, should be limited to values below 10 A in order to avoid iron burning. Residual-current relays in the star point connection of CTs can in this case not be used, in particular with rated CT primary currents higher than 200 A. The pickup value of the zero-sequence relay would in this case be in the order of the error currents of the CTs. A special zero-sequence CT is therefore used in this case as ground current sensor. The window-type current transformer 7XR96 is designed for a ratio of 60/1 A. The detection of 6 A primary would then require a relay pickup setting of 0.1 A secondary.
An even more sensitive setting is applied in isolated or Peterson-coil-grounded networks where very low ground currents occur with single-phase-to-ground faults. Settings of 20 mA and less may then be required depending on the minimum ground-fault current. Sensitive directional ground-fault relays (integrated in the relays 7SJ512, 7SJ55 and 7SA511) allow settings as low as 5 mA.

Differential relays (87) Transformer differential relays are normally set to pickup values between 20 and 30% rated current. The higher value has to be chosen when the transformer is fitted with a tap changer. Restricted ground-fault relays and highresistance motor/generator differential relays are, as a rule, set to about 10% rated current.

Time grading of o/c relays (51) The selectivity of overcurrent protection is based on time grading of the relay operating characteristics. The relay closer to the infeed (upstream relay) is time-delayed against the relay further away from the infeed (downstream relay). This is shown in Fig. 116 by the example of definite time o/c relays. The overshoot times takes into account the fact that the measuring relay continues to operate due to its inertia, even when the fault current is interrupted. This may

Instantaneous o/c protection (50) This is typically applied on the final supply load or on any protective device with sufficient circuit impedance between itself and the next downstream protective device. The setting at transformers, for example, must be chosen about 20 to 30% higher than the maximum through-fault current. Motor feeders The energizing of motors causes a starting current of initially 5 to 6 times rated current (locked rotor current). A typical time-current curve for an induction motor is shown in Fig. 114. In the first 100 ms, a fast decaying assymetrical inrush current appears additionally. With conventional relays it was current practice to set the instantaneous o/c step for short-circuit protection 20 to 30% above the locked-rotor current with a shorttime delay of 50 to 100 ms to override the asymmetrical inrush period. Numerical relays are able to filter out the asymmetrical current component very fast so that the setting of an additional time delay is no longer applicable. The overload protection characteristic should follow the thermal motor characteristic as closely as possible. The adaption is to be made by setting of the pickup value and the thermal time constant, using the data supplied by the motor manufacturer. Further, the locked-rotor protection timer has to be set according to the characteristic motor value.

Inverse-time relays (51) For the time grading of inverse-time relays, the same rules apply in principle as for the definite time relays. The time grading is first calculated for the maximum fault level and then checked for lower current levels (Fig. 115).

If the same characteristic is used for all relays, or when the upstream relay has a steeper characteristic (e.g. very much over normal inverse), then selectivity is automatically fulfilled at lower currents.

Calculation example The feeder configuration of Fig. 117 and the assigned load and short-circuit currents are given. Numerical o/c relays 7SJ60 with normal inverse-time characteristic are applied. The relay operating times dependent on current can be taken from the diagram or derived from the formula given in Fig. 118. The IP /IN settings shown in Fig. 117 have been chosen to get pickup values safely above maximum load current. This current setting shall be lowest for the relay farthest downstream. The relays further upstream shall each have equal or higher current setting. The time multiplier settings can now be calculated as follows: Station C: ■ For coordination with the fuses, we
consider the fault in location F1. The short-circuit current related to 13.8 kV is 523 A. This results in 7.47 for I/IP at the o/c relay in location C. ■ With this value and TP = 0.05 we derive from Fig. 118 an operating time of tA = 0.17 s This setting was selected for the o/c relay to get a safe grading time over the fuse on the transformer low-voltage side. The setting values for the relay at station C are therefore: ■ Current tap: IP /IN = 0.7 ■ Time multipler: TP = 0.05 Station B: The relay in B has a back-up function for the relay in C. The maximum through-fault current of 1.395 A becomes effective for a fault in location F2. For the relay in C, we obtain an operating time of 0.11 s (I/IP = 19.9). We assume that no special requirements for short operating times exist and can therefore choose an average time grading interval of 0.3 s. The operating time of the relay in B can then be calculated: ■ tB = 0.11 + 0.3 = 0.41 s ■ Value of IP /IN = 1395 A = 6.34 220 A see Fig. 117. ■ With the operating time 0.41 s and IP /IN = 6.34, we can now derive TP = 0.11 from Fig. 118.

The setting values for the relay at station B are herewith ■ Current tap: IP /IN = 1.1 ■ Time multiplier TP = 0.11 Given these settings, we can also check the operating time of the relay in B for a close-in fault in F3: The short-circuit current increases in this case to 2690 A (see Fig. 117). The corresponding I/IP value is 12.23. ■ With this value and the set value of TP = 0.11 we obtain again from Fig. 118 an operating time of 0.3 s. Station A:

To prove the selectivity over the whole range of possible short-circuit currents, it is normal practice to draw the set operating curves in a common diagram with double log scales. These diagrams can be manually calculated and drawn point by point or constructed by using templates. Today computer programs are also available for this purpose. Fig. 119 shows the relay coordination diagram for the example selected, as calculated by the Siemens program CUSS (computer-aided protective grading).

Note: To simplify calculations, only inverse-time characteristics have been used for this example. About 0.1 s shorter operating times could have been reached for high-current faults by additionally applying the instantaneous zones I>> of the 7SJ60 relays.

Coordination of o/c relays with fuses and low-voltage trip devices The procedure is similar to the above described grading of o/c relays. Usually a time interval between 0.1 and 0.2 seconds is sufficient for a safe time coordination. Very and extremely inverse characteristics are often more suitable than normal inverse curves in this case. Fig. 120 shows typical examples. Simple consumer-utility interrupts use a power fuse on the primary side of the supply transformers (Fig. 120a). In this case, the operating characteristic of the o/c relay at the infeed has to be coordinated with the fuse curve. Very inverse characteristics may be used with expulsion-type fuses (fuse cutouts) while extremly inverse versions adapt better to current limiting fuses. In any case, the final decision should be made by plotting the curves in the log-log coordination diagram. Electronic trip devices of LV breakers have long-delay, short-delay and instantaneous zones. Numerical o/c relays with one inverse time and two definite-time zones can be closely adapted (Fig. 120b).

The first zone normally operates undelayed. For the grading of the time intervals of the second and third zones, the same rules as for o/c relays apply (see Fig. 116). For the quadrilateral characteristics (relays 7SA511 and 7SA513) only the reactance values (X values) have to be considered for the reach setting. The setting of the R values should cover the line resistance and possible arc or fault resistances. The arc resistance can be roughly estimated as follows:
Z2A = 0.85 • (ZLA-B+Z1B) Z3A = 0.85 • (ZLA-B+Z2B)

The reach setting of distance times must take into account the limited relay accuracy including transient overreach (5% according to IEC 60255-6), the CT error (1% for class 5P and 3% for class 10P) and a security margin of about 5%. Further, the line parameters are normally only calculated, not measured. This is a further source of errors. A setting of 80–85% is therefore common practice; 80% is used for mechanical relays while 85% can be used for the more accurate numerical relays.
6/68
Where measured line or cable impedances are available, the reach setting may also be extended to 90%. The second and third zones have to keep a safety margin of about 15 to 20% to the corresponding zones of the following lines. The shortest following line has always to be considered (Fig. 121). As a general rule, the second zone should at least reach 20% over the next station to ensure back-up for busbar faults, and the third zone should cover the largest following line as back-up for the line protection.

The shortest setting of the numerical Siemens relays is 0.05 ohms for 1 A relays, corresponding to 0.01 ohms for 5 A relays. This allows distance protection of distribution cables down to the range of some 500 meters.

Power System Protection Protection Coordination
Breaker failure protection setting Most digital relays of this guide provide the BF protection as an integral function. The initiation of the BF protection by the internal protection functions then takes place via software logic. However, the BF protection function may also be initiated from outside via binary inputs by an alternate protection. In this case the operating time of intermediate relays (BFI time) may have to be considered. Finally, the tripping of the infeeding breakers needs auxiliary relays which add a small time delay (BFT) to the overall fault clearing time. This is in particular the case with 1-and1/2-breaker or ring bus arrangements where a separate breaker failure relay (7SV600 or 7SV512) is used per breaker (see application example 10). The deciding criterion of BF protection time coordination is the reset time of the current detector (50BF) which must not be exceeded under any condition of current interruption. The reset times specified in the Siemens digital relay manuals are valid for the worst-case condition: interruption of a fully offset short-circuit current and low current pick-up setting (0.1 to 0.2 times rated CT current). The reset time is 1 cycle for EHV relays (7SA513, 7SV512) and 1.5 to 2 cycles for distribution type relays (7SJ***). Fig. 126 shows the time chart for a typical breaker failure protection scheme. The stated times in parentheses apply for transmission system protection and the times in square brackets for distribution system protection.

Sensitivity For the relay to operate in case of an internal fault, the primary current must reach a minimum value to supply the set relay pickup current (IR-set), the varistor leakage current (Ivar) and the magnetizing currents of all parallel-connected CTs (n·ImR). Low relay voltage setting and CTs with low magnetizing demand therefore increase the protection sensitivity.

This check is made by assuming an external fault with maximum through-fault current and full saturation of the CT in the faulted feeder. The saturated CT ist then only effective with its secondary winding resistance RCT, and the appearing relay voltage VR corresponds to the voltage drop of the infeeding currents (through-fault current) at RCT and RL. The current at the relay must under this condition safely stay below the relay pickup value. In practice, the wiring resistances RL may not be equal. In this case, the worst condition with the highest relay voltage (corresponding to the highest relay current) must be sought by considering all possible external feeder faults.

Setting The setting is always a trade-off between sensitivity and stability. A higher voltage setting leads to enhanced through-fault stability, but, also to higher CT magnetizing and varistor leakage currents resulting consequently in a higher primary pickup current. A higher voltage setting also requires a higher knee-point voltage of the CTs and therefore greater size of the CTs. A sensitivity of 10 to 20% IN is normal for motor and transformer differential protection, or for restricted ground-fault protection. With busbar protection a pickup value ≥ 50 % IN is normally applied. An increased pickup value can be achieved by connecting a resistor in parallel to the relay. Varistor Voltage limitation by a varistor is needed if peak voltages near or above the insulation voltage (2 kV) are to be expected. A limitation to 1500 V rms is then recommended. This can be checked for the maximum internal fault current by applying the formula shown for VR-max. A restricted ground-fault protection may normally not require a varistor, but, a busbar protection in general does. The electrical varistor characteristic can be expressed as V=K·IB. K and B are the varistor constants.

Local and Remote Control Introduction
State-of-the-art Modern protection and substation control uses microprocessor technology and serial communication to upgrade substation operation, to enhance reliability and to reduce overall life cycle cost. The traditional conglomeration of often totally different devices such as relays, meters, switchboards and RTUs is replaced by a few multifunctional, intelligent devices of uniform design. And, instead of extensive parallel wiring (centralized solution, Fig. 132), only a few serial links are used (decentralized solution, Fig. 133). Control of the substation takes place with menu-guided procedures at a central VDU workplace.

Local and Remote Control Introduction
Substation control and protection system For numerical substation control and protection system applications, two different systems are available: ■ SINAUT LSA ■ SICAM By virtue of their different functions and specific advantages, the two systems cover different applications. This means that it is possible to configure an optimum system for every application. SINAUT LSA is typically used primarily for medium-voltage and high-voltage applications in power supply utilities. The principal use for SICAM products is currently in medium-voltage applications for power suppliers and industry. Other features in which they differ are summarized in Fig. 134.
The SICAM family offers of the following options: ■ SICAM SAS, the substation automation system with the following features: – Principal function: substation automation – Decentralized and centralized process connection – Local control and monitoring with archive function – Communication with the System Control Center ■ SICAM RTU, the telecontrol system with central process connection and the following features: – Principal function: information communication
SINAUT LSA Central and decentral connection
SICAM Substation Automation System Units of the SICAM family have been in service since 1996. The SICAM system is based on SIMATIC*) and PC standard modules. SICAM possesses an open communication system with standardized interfaces. Thus, SICAM is a flexible system capable of uncomplicated further development. *)Siemens PLCs and Industrial Automation Systems.

Principal application aspects of SINAUT LSA and SICAM
SINAUT LSA substation control system Since 1986, SINAUT LSA systems have proved themselves in practice in over 1500 substations. The SINAUT LSA substation automation system was the first digital system to have integrated all the following functions in a single equipment family: ■ Telecontrol ■ Local Control ■ Monitoring ■ Automation and ■ Protection SINAUT LSA has significantly extended the scope of performance and functionality of conventional secondary equipment. It is design and operation-friendly to a very considerable extent. SINAUT LSA is a system matched to requirements – from the hardware to the PC tools – and is tailored in optimum form to the function of numerical substation control and protection systems. Fig. 134 shows the principal application aspects of the SINAUT LSA substation control and protection system in comparison with the SICAM systems.

System structure and scope of functions The SINAUT LSA system performs supervisory local control, switchgear interlocking, bay and station protection, synchronizing, transformer tap-changer control, switching sequence programs, event and fault recording, telecontrol, etc. It consists of the independent subsystems (Fig. 135): ■ Supervisory control 6MB5** ■ Protection 7S*** Normally, switchgear interlocking is integrated as a software program in the supervisory control system. Local bay control is implemented in the bay-dedicated I/O control units 6MB524. For complex substations with multiple busbars, however, the interlocking function can also be provided as an independent backup system (System 8TK). Communication and data exchange between components is performed via serial data links. Optical-fiber connections are preferred to ensure EMI compatibility. The communication structure of the control system is designed as a hierarchical star configuration. It operates in the polling procedure with a fixed assignment of the master function to the central unit. The data transmission mode is asynchronous, half-duplex, protected with a hamming distance d = 4, and complies with the IEC Standard 60 870-5. Each subsystem can operate fully in standalone mode even in the event of loss of communication.

Fig. 135: Distributed structure of coordinated protection and control system SINAUT LSA
Data sharing between protection and control via the so-called informative interface according to IEC 60 870-5-103 is restricted to noncritical measuring or event recording functions. The protection units, for example, deliver r.m.s. values of currents, voltages, power, instantaneous values for oscillographic fault recording and time-tagged operating events for fault reporting. Besides the high data transmission security, the system also provides self-monitoring of individual components. The distributed structure also makes the SINAUT LSA system attractive for refurbishment programs or extensions, where conventional secondary equipment has to be integrated. It is general practice to provide protection of HV and EHV substations as separate, self-contained relays that can communicate with the control system, but function otherwise completely independently. At lower voltage levels, however, higher integrated solutions are accepted for cost reasons. For distribution-type substations combined protection and control feeder units (e.g. 7SJ63) are available which integrate all necessary functions of one feeder, includ-
ing: local feeder control, overcurrent and overload protection, breaker-failure protection and metering. Supervisory control The substation is monitored and controlled from the operator‘s desk (Fig. 136). The VDU shows overview diagrams and complete details of the switchgear including measurands on a color display. All event and alarm annunciations are selectable in the form of lists. The control procedure is menu-guided and uses mouse and keyboard. The operation is therefore extremely userfriendly. Automatic functions Apart from the switchgear interlocking provided, a series of automatic functions ensure effective and secure system operation. Automatic switching sequences, such as changing of busbars, can be user-programmed and started locally or remotely. Furthermore, the synchronizing function has been integrated into the system software and is available as an option.
Siemens Power Engineering Guide · Transmission and Distribution · 4th Edition
Local and Remote Control SINAUT LSA – Overview
The synchronizing function runs on the relevant 6MB524 bay control units. The performance of these functions corresponds to modern digital stand-alone units. The advantages of the integrated solution, however, are: ■ External auxiliary relay circuits for the selection of measurands are no longer applicable. ■ Adaptive parameter setting becomes possible from local or remote control levels. High processing power The processing power of the central control unit has been enormously increased by the introduction of the 32-bit µP technology. This permits, on the one hand, a more compact design and provides, on the other hand, sufficient processing reserve for the future introduction of additional functions.

Static memories A decisive step in the direction of user friendliness has been made with the implementation of large nonvolatile Flash EPROM memories. The system parameters can be loaded via a serial port at the front panel of the central unit. Bay level parameters are automatically downloaded.

Analog value processing The further processing of raw measured data, such as the calculation of maximum, minimum or effective values, with assigned real time, is contained as standard function. A Flash EPROM mass storage can optionally be provided to record measured values, fault events or fault oscillograms.The stored information can be read out locally or remotely by a telephone modem connection. Further data evaluation (harmonic analysis, etc.) is then possible by means of a special PC program (LSA PROCESS). Compact design A real reduction in space and cost has been achieved by the creation of compact I/O and central units. The processing hardware is enclosed in metallic cases with EMI-proof terminals and optical serial interfaces. All units are type tested according to the latest IEC standards. In this way, the complete control and protection equipment can be directly integrated into the MV or HV switchgear (Fig. 137, 138).

Switchgear interlocking and local control
The interlocking function ensures fail-safe switching and personal safety down to the lowest control level, i.e. directly at the switchpanel, even when supervisory control is not available. The bay control unit 6MB524 uses codewords to protect the switchgear from unauthorized operation. With these codewords, the authorization for local switching and unlocked local switching can be reached. The bay-to-bay interlocking conditions are checked in the SINAUT LSA central unit. Each 6MB524 bay control unit has an optical fiber link to this central unit.
With the introduction of the bay control unit 6MB524, the switchgear interlocking and the local control function have been integrated completely into the SINAUT LSA station control system. That means that there is no technical need for an additional switchgear interlocking like the 8TK system, because the SINAUT LSA system has the same reliability according to the testing of interlocking conditions. However, the 8TK system is still available for the case that an interlocking system with seperate hardware and software is required.

A complete range of fully digital (numerical) relays is available (see chapter Power System Protection 6/8 and following pages). They all have a uniform design compatible with the control units (Fig. 139). This applies to the hardware as well as to the software structure and the operating procedures. Metallic standard cases, IEC 60255tested, with EMI-secure terminals, ensure an uncomplicated application comparable to mechanical relays. The LCD display and setting keypad are integrated. Additionally a RS232 port is provided on the front panel for the connection of a PC as an HMI. The rear terminal block contains an opticalfiber interface for the data communication with the SINAUT LSA control system. The relays are normally linked directly to the relevant I/O control unit at the bay level. Connection to the central control system unit is, however, also possible. The numerical relays are multifunctional and contain, for example, all the necessary protection functions for a line feeder or transformer. At higher voltage levels, additional, main or back-up relays are applied. The new relay generation has extended memory capacity for fault recording (5 seconds, 1 ms resolution) and nonvolatile memory for important fault information. The serial link between protection and control uses standard protocols in accordance with IEC 60870-5-103. In this way, supplier compatibility and interchangeability of protection devices is achieved.

Communication with control centres
For substations with existing remote terminal units, an enhancement towards the decentralized SINAUT LSA performance level is feasible. The telecontrol system 6MB55 replaces outdated remote terminal units (Fig. 140). Conventional RTUs are connected to the switchgear via interposing relays and measuring transducers with a marshalling rack as a common interface. The centralized version SINAUT LSA can be directly connected to this interface. The totally parallel wiring can be left in its original state. In this manner, it is possible to enhance the RTU function and to include substation monitoring and control with the same performance level as the decentralized SINAUT LSA system. Upgrading of existing substations can thus be achieved with a minimum of cost and effort.
The SINAUT LSA system uses protocols that comply with IEC Standard 60 870-5. In many cases an adaption to existing proprietary protocols is necessary, when the system control center has been supplied by another manufacturer. For this purpose, an extensive protocol library has been developed (approx. 100 protocol variants). Further protocols can be provided on demand.

In parallel with the upgrading of the central unit hardware, a novel parameterizing and documentation system LSATOOLS has been developed. It uses modern graphical presentation management methods, including pull-down menus and multiwindowing. LSATOOLS enables the complete configuration, parameterization and documentation of the system to be carried out on a PC workstation. It ensures that a consistent database for the project is maintained from design to commissioning (Fig. 141). The system parameters, generated by LSATOOLS, can be serially loaded into the Flash EPROM memory of the central control unit and will then be automatically downloaded to the bay level devices (Fig. 142). Care has been taken to ensure that changes and expansions are possible without requiring a complete retest of the system. Because of the object-oriented structure of LSATOOLS, it is easily possible for the system engineer to add new bays with all necessary information.

In the SINAUT LSA substation control system the functions can be distributed between station and bay control levels. The input/output devices have the following tasks on the bay control level: ■ Signal acquisition ■ Acquisition of measured values and metering data ■ Monitoring the execution of control commands, e.g. for – Control of switchgear – Transformer tap changing – Setting of Peterson coils Data processing, such as – Limit monitoring of measured values, including initiation of responses to limit violations – Calculation of derived operational measured values (e.g. P, Q, cos ϕ ) and/or operational parameters (for example r.m.s. values, slave pointer) from the logged instantaneous values for current and voltage – Deciding how much information to transmit to the control master unit in each polling cycle – Generation of group signals and deriving of signals internally, e.g. from self-monitoring ■ Switchgear-related automation tasks – Switching sequences in response to switching commands or to process events – Synchronization ■ Local control and operation (only bay control unit 6MB524): – Display of actual bay status (single line diagram) – Local control of circuit-breaker and disconnectors – Display of measurement values and event recording ■ Transmission of data from numerical protection relays to the control master unit ■ Local display of status and measured values.

Further, integral displays for measuring values and LEDs for status indication are provided. Minicompact device 6MB525 It contains signal inputs and command outputs for substation control. Analog measuring inputs, where needed, have to be provided by additional measuring transducers, type 7KG60. Alternatively, the measuring
functions of the numerical protection relays can be used. These can also provide local indication of measuring values. The local bay control is intended to be performed by the existing, switchgear-integrated mechanical control. Compact devices 6MB522/523 They provide a higher number of signal inputs and outputs, and contain additional measuring functions. One measuring value or other preprocessed information can be displayed on the 2-row, 16-character alphanumeric display. If local control is required, the bay control unit 6MB524 is the right choice.

Combined protection and control device 7SJ531 This fully integrated device provides all protection, control and measuring functions for simple line/cable, motor or transformer feeders. Protection includes overcurrent, overload and ground-fault protection, as well as breaker-failure protection, autoreclosure and motor supervision functions (see page 6/27). Only one unit is needed per feeder. Space, assembly and wiring costs can therefore be considerably reduced. Measured value display and local bay control is performed in the same way as with the bay control unit 6MB524 with a large display and a keypad.

Local and Remote Control SINAUT LSA – Distributed Structure
The 6MB51 control master unit This unit lies at the heart of the 6MB substation control system and, with its 32-bit 80486 processor, satisfies the most demanding requirements. It is a compact unit inside the standard housing used in Siemens substation secondary equipment. The 6MB51 control master unit manages the input/output devices, controls the interaction between the control centers in the substation and the higher control levels, processes information for the entire station and archives data in accordance with the parameterized requirements of the user. Specifically, the control master unit coordinates communication ■ to the higher network control levels ■ to the substation control center ■ to an analysis center located either in the station or connected remotely via a telephone line using a modem ■ to the input/output devices and/or the numerical protection units (bay control units) ■ to lower-level stations. This is for the purpose of controlling and monitoring activities at the substation and network control levels as well as providing data for use by engineers. Other tasks of the control master unit are ■ Event logging with a time resolution of 1 or 10 ms ■ Archiving of events, variations in measured values and fault records on massstorage units ■ Time synchronization using radio clock (GPS, DCF77 or Rugby) or using a signal from a higher-level control station ■ Automation tasks affecting more than one bay: – Parallel control of transformers – Synchronizing (measured value selection) – Switching sequences – Busbar voltage simulation – Switchgear interlocking ■ Parameter management to meet the relevant requirements specification ■ Self-monitoring and system monitoring.
System monitoring primarily involves evaluating the self-monitoring results of the devices and serial interfaces which are coordinated by the control master unit. In particular, in important EHV substations, some users require redundancy of the control master unit. In these cases, two control master units are connected to each other via a serial interface. System monitoring then consists of mutual error recognition and, if necessary, automatic transfer of control of the process to the redundant control master unit.

The Siemens SINAUT LSA station control system performs at first all tasks for conventional local control: ■ Local control of and checkback indications from the switching devices ■ Acquisition, display and registration of analog values ■ Acquisition, display and registration of alarms and fault indications in real time ■ Measurement data acquisition and processing ■ Fault recording ■ Transformer open-loop and closed-loop control ■ Synchronizing/paralleling Unlike the previous conventional technology with completely centralized processing of these tasks and complicated parallel wiring and marshalling of process data, the new microprocessor-controlled technology benefits from the distribution of tasks to the central control master unit and the distributed input/output units, and from the serial data exchange in telegrams between these units. Tasks of the input/output unit

The input/output unit performs the following bay-related tasks: ■ Fast distributed acquisition of process data such as indications, analog values and switching device positions and their preprocessing and buffering ■ Command output and monitoring ■ Assignment of the time for each event (time tag) ■ Isolation from the switchyard via heavyduty relay contacts ■ Run-time monitoring ■ Limit value supervision ■ Paralleling/synchronizing ■ Local control and monitoring Analog values can be input to the bay control unit both via analog value transducers and by direct connection to CTs and VTs. The required r.m.s. values for current and voltage are digitized and calculated as well as active and reactive power. The advantage is that separate measuring cores and analog value transducers for operational measurement are eliminated.

Control master unit
Switchyard overview diagram
The process data acquired in the input/output unit are scanned cyclically by the control master unit. The control master unit performs further information processing of all data called from the feeders for station tasks ”local control and telecontrol“ with the associated event logging and fault recording and therefore replaces the complicated conventional marshalling distributor racks. Marshalling is implemented under microprocessor control in the control master unit.
A switchyard single-line diagram can be configured to show an overview of the substation. This diagram is used to give the operator a quick overview of the entire switchyard status and shows, for example, which feeders are connected or disconnected. Current and other analog values can also be displayed. Information about raised or cleared operational and alarm indications is also displayed along the top edge of the screen. It is not possible to perform control actions from the switchyard overview. If the operator wants to switch a device, he has to select a detailed diagram, say ”110 kV detailed diagram“. If the appropriate function key is pressed, the 110 kV detailed diagram (Fig. 153) appears. This display shows the switching state of all switching devices of the feeders.
Serial protection interface All protection indications and fault recording data acquired for fault analysis in protection relays are called by the control master unit via the serial interface. These include instantaneous values for fault current and voltage of all phases and ground, sampled with a resolution of 1 ms, as well as distance-to-fault location. Serial data exchange The serial data exchange between the bay components and the control master unit has important economic advantages. This is especially true when one considers the preparation and forwarding of the information via serial data link to the control center communication module which is a component of the control master unit. This module is a single, system-compatible microprocessor module on which both the telecontrol tasks and telegram adaptation to telegram structures of existing remote transmission systems are implemented. This makes the station control independent of the telecontrol technology and the associated telegram structure used in the network control center at a higher level of the hierarchy. Station control center The peripheral devices for operating and visualization (station control center) are also connected to the control master unit. The following devices are part of the station control center: ■ A color VDU with a function keyboard or mouse for display, control, event and alarm indication, ■ A printer for on-line logging (event list), ■ Mass storage.
Function field control In the menu of the function fields, it is possible, for example, to select between control switching devices and tap changing. The control diagram shows details of station components and allows control and defining of display properties or functions (e.g. change in color/flashing). Furthermore, the popup diagram window can be opened from here, where switching operations with control elements are performed. The configured switching operation works as follows: ■ Selecting the switch: A click with the left mouse button on the switch symbol opens the popup window for command output ■ Output of the command. On clicking the operate button in the popup window the command is output The color of the switch symbol depends on the state. If the command is found to be safe after a check has been made for violations of interlock conditions, the switching device in question is operated. In the case where a mouse is available, the appropriate device is selected by the usual mouse operation. Once the switching command has been executed and a checkback signal has been received, the blinking symbol changes to the new actual state on the VDU. In this way, switching operations can be performed very simply and absolutely without error. If commands violate the interlock conditions or if the switch position is not adopted by a switching device, for example, because of a drive fault, the relevant fault indications or notes are displayed on the screen.

Local and Remote Control SINAUT LSA – Local Control Functions
Event list All events are logged in chronological order. The event list can be displayed on the VDU whenever called or printed out on a printer or stored on a mass-storage medium. Fig. 153 shows a section of this event list as it appears on the VDU. The event list can also be incorporated in the detailed displays. The bay-related events can therefore also be shown in the detailed displays.
1
Example event list (Fig. 154)
3
The date can be seen in the left-hand area and the events are shown in order of priority. Switching commands and fault indications are displayed with a precision of up to 1 ms and events with high priority and protection indications after a fault-detection are shown with millisecond resolution. A command that is accepted by the control system is also displayed. This can be seen by the index ”+“ of the command (OP), otherwise ”OP–“ would appear. If the switchgear device itself does not execute the command, ”FB–“ (checkback negative) indicates this. ”FB+“ results after successful command execution. The texts chosen are suggestions and can be parameterized differently. The event list shows that a protection fault-detection (general start GS) has occurred with all the associated details. The real time is shown in the left-hand column and the relative time with millisecond precision in the right-hand column, permitting clear and fast fault analysis. The fault location, 17 km in this case, is also displayed. The lower section of the event list shows examples of raised (RAI) and cleared (CLE) alarm indications, such as ”voltage transformer miniature-circuit-breaker tripped“. This fault has been remedied as can be seen from the corresponding cleared indication. The letter S in the top line, called the indication bar, indicates that a fault indication has been received that is stored in a separate ”warning list“. Example alarm list (Fig. 155) When the alarm list is selected, it is displayed on the VDU. In this danger alarm concept a distinction is made between cleared and raised and between acknowledged and unacknowledged indications. Raised indications are shown in red, cleared indications are green (similar to the fast/slow blinking lamp principle). The letter Q is placed in front of an indication that has not yet been acknowledged. Indications that are raised and cleared and acknowledged are displayed in white in the list.

This system with representation in the alarm list therefore supersedes danger alarm equipment with two-frequency blinking lamps traditionally used with conventional equipment. As stated above, all events can also be continuously logged in chronological order on the associated printer, too. The appearance of this event list is identical to that on the VDU. The alarm list can also be incorporated in the detailed displays. The bayrelated alarms can therefore also be shown in the detailed displays. Mass storage It is also possible to store historic fault data, i.e. fault recording data and events on mass-storage medium. It can accept data from the control master units and stores it on Flash EPROMs. This static memory is completely maintenancefree when compared to floppy or hard disc systems. 8Mbyte of recorded data can be stored. The locally or remotely readable memory permits evaluation of the data using a PC. This personal computer can be set up separately from the control equipment, e.g. in an office. Communication then takes place via a telephone-modem connection. In addition to fault recording data, operational data, such as load-monitoring values (current, voltage, power, etc.) and events can be stored.
tion leads the user to the display of measurands, metering values, alarm lists and status messages. The keypad design with 6 colors supports the operator for quick and secure operation. User authorization is handled via password, for example unlocked switching. The new SIPROTEC4 devices also allow local bay control. At the 7SJ63 and 6MD63 devices, a large graphic display and an ergonomic keypad assist the operator in control of the switching devices and read out messages, measurements and metering values. In the 7SJ61 and 7SJ62 protection units, the user interface consists of a 4-line text display. These smaller units also make it possible to control the feeder circuitbreaker. All SIPROTEC4 devices are parameterized with the operating program DIGSI4.

After a fault, the millisecond-precision values for the phase currents and voltages and the ground current and ground voltage are buffered in the feeder protection. These values are called from the numerical feeder protection by the control master unit and can be output as curves with the program LSAPROCESS (Fig. 156). The time marking 0 indicates the time of fault detection, i.e. the relay general start (GS). Approx. 5 ms before the general start, a three-phase fault to ground occurred, which can be seen by the rise in phase currents and the ground current.
6/84
12 ms after the general start, the circuit breaker was tripped (OFF) and after further 80 ms, the fault was cleared. After approx. 120 ms the protection reset. Voltage recovery after disconnection was recorded up to 600 ms after the general start. This format permits quick and clear analysis of a fault. The correct operation of the protection and the circuit breaker can be seen in the fault recording (Fig. 156). The high-voltage feeder protection presently includes a time range of at least 5 seconds for the fault recording.
The important point is that this fault recording is possible in all feeders that are equipped with the microprocessor-controlled protection having a serial interface according to IEC 60870-5-103.

Application in high-voltage substations with relay kiosks Fig. 157 shows the arrangement of the local components. Each two bays (line or transformer) are assigned to one kiosk. Each bay has at least one input/output unit for control (bay control unit) and one protection unit. In extra-high voltage, the protection is normally doubled (main and backup protection). Local control is performed at the bay units (6MB524) using the integrated graphic display and keypad. Switchgear interlocking is included in the bay control units and in the central control unit. The protection relays are serially connected to the bay control unit by optical-fiber links.

In extremely important substations, mainly extra-high voltage, there exists a doubling philosophy. In these substations, the feeder protection, the DC supply, the operating coils and the telecontrol interface are doubled. In such cases, the station control system with its serial connections, and the master unit with the control center coupling can also be doubled. Both master units are brought up-to-date in signal direction. The operation management can be switched over between the two master units (Fig. 158).

The following example (Fig. 159) shows an indoor high-voltage substation. All decentralized control system components, such as bay control unit and feeder protection are also grouped per bay and installed close to the switchgear. They are connected to the central control unit in the same way as described in the outdoor version via fiber-optic cables.

Application in medium-voltage substations The same basic arrangement is also applicable to medium-voltage (distribution-type) substations (Fig. 160 and 161). The feeder protection and the compact input/output units are, however, preferably installed in the low-voltage compartment of the feeders (Fig. 160) to save costs. There is now a trend to apply combined control and protection units. The relay 7SJ63, for example, provides protection and measurement, and has integrated graphic display and keypad for bay control. Thus, only one device is needed per cable, motor or O H line feeder.

Fig. 162 shows an example for the most simple wiring of the feeder units. The voltages between the bay control unit and the protection can be paralleled at the bay control unit because the plug-in modules have a double connection facility. The current is connected in series between the devices. The current input at the bay control unit is dimensioned for 100xIN, 1 s (protection dimensioning). The plug-in modules have a short-circuiting facility to avoid opening of CT circuits. The accuracy of the operational measurements depends on the protection characteristics. Normally, it is approx. 2% of IN. If more exact values are required, a separate measuring core must be provided. The serial interface of the protection is connected to the bay control unit. The protection data is transferred to the control central unit via the connection between the bay control unit and the central unit. Thus, only one serial connection to the central unit is required per feeder.

Local and Remote Control SINAUT LSA – Application Examples
System configuration The system arrangement depends on the type of substation, the number of feeders and the required control and protection functions. The basic equipment can be chosen according to the following criteria: Central control master unit has to be chosen according to the number of bay control units to be serially connected: ■ 6MB513 for a maximum of 32 serial interfaces ■ 6MB514 for a maximum of 64 serial interfaces At the most 9 more serial interfaces are available for connection of data channels to load dispatch centers, local substation control PCs, printers, etc. Substation control center It normally consists of a PC with keyboard and a mouse, color monitor, LSAVIEW software and a printer for the output of reports. For exact time synchronization of 1 millisecond accuracy, a GPS or DCF77 receiver with antenna may be used. Bay control units Normally, a separate bay control unit is assigned to every substation bay. The type has to be selected according to the following requirements: ■ Number of command outputs: that means the sum of circuit breakers, isolators and other equipment to be centrally or remotely controlled. The stated double commands are normally provided for double-pole (”+“ and ”–“) control of trip or closing coils. Each double-pole command can be separated into two single-pole commands where stated (Fig. 149, page 6/80). ■ Number of digital signal inputs: as the sum of alarms, breaker and isolator positions, tap changer positions, binary coded meter values, etc, to be acquired, processed or monitored. Position monitoring requires double signal inputs while single inputs are sufficient for normal alarms. ■ Number of analog inputs: depends on the number of voltages, currents and other analog values (e.g. temperatures) to be monitored. Currents (rated 1 A or 5 A ) or voltages (normally rated 100 to 110 V) can be directly connected to the bay control units. No transducers are required. Numerical protection relays also acquire and process currents and voltages.
They can also be used for load monitoring and indication (accuracy about 2% of rated value). In this way, the number of analog inputs of the bay control units can be reduced. This is often practised in distribution-type substations. The device selection is discussed in the following example.

Example: Substation control configuration Fig. 163 shows the arrangement of a typical distribution-type substation with two incoming transformers, 10 outgoing feeders and a bus tie. The required inputs and outputs at bay level are listed in Fig. 164 for the incoming transformer feeders and in Fig. 165 for the outgoing line feeders, the bus tie and the VT bay. Each bay control unit is connected to the central control unit via fiber-optic cables (graded index fibers). The o/c relays 7SJ60, the minicompact I/O units 6MB5250 and the measuring transducers 7KG60 each have RS 485 communication interfaces and are connected to a bus of a twisted pair of wires. An RS485 converter to fiber-optic is therefore additionally provided to adapt the serial wire link to the fiber-optic inputs of the central unit. Recommendations for the selection of the protection relays are given in the section System Protection (6/8 and following pages). The selection of the combined control/protection units 7SJ531 or 7SJ63 is recommended when local control at bay level is to be provided by the bay control unit. The low-cost solution 7SJ60 + 6MB5250 should be selected where switchgear integrated mechanical local control is acceptable.

Local and Remote Control SINAUT LSA – Centralized (RTU) Structure
Enhanced remote terminal units 6MB551 The 6MB55 telecontrol system is based on the same hardware and software modules as the 6MB51 substation control system. The functions of the inupt/output devices have been taken away from the bays and relocated to the central unit at station control level. The result is the 6MB551 enhanced remote terminal unit (ERTU). Special plug-in modules for control and acquisition of process signals are used instead of the bay dedicated input/output devices: ■ Digital input (32 DI) ■ Analog input (32 AI grouped, 16 AI isolated) ■ Command output (32 CO) and ■ Command enabling These modules communicate with the central modules in the same frame via the internal standard LSA bus. The bus can be extended to further frames by parallel interfaces. The 6MB551 station control unit therefore has the basic structure of a remote terminal unit but offers all the functions of the 6MB51 substation control system such as:

Other tasks of the enhanced RTU are ■ Event logging with a time resolution of 1 or 10 ms ■ Archiving of events, variations in measured values and fault records on mass storage units ■ Time synchronization using radio clock (GPS, DCF77 or Rugby) or using a signal from a higher-level control station ■ Automation tasks affecting more than one bay: – Parallel control of transformers – Synchronizing (measured value selection) – Switching sequences – Busbar voltage simulation – Switchgear interlocking ■ Parameter management to meet the relevant requirements specification ■ Self-monitoring and system monitoring. ■ Up to 96 serial fiber-optic interfaces to distributed bay control units ■ Up to 5 expansion frames. Configuration including signal I/O modules can be parameterized as desired. Up to 121 signal I/O modules can be used (21 per frame minus one in the baseframe for each expansion frame, i.e. totally 6 x 21 – 5 = 121). The 6MB551 station control unit can therefore be expanded from having simple telecontrol data processing functions to assuming the complex functionality of a substation control system. The same applies to the process signal capacity. In one unit, more than 4 000 data points can be addressed and, by means of serial interfacing of subsystems, this figure can be increased even further. The 6MB551 station control unit simplifies the incorporation of extensions to the substation by using the decentralized 6MB52* bay control units for the additional substation bays.
These distributed input/output devices can then be connected via serial interface to the telecontrol equipment. Additional parameterization takes care of their actual integration in the operational hierarchy. The 6MB551 RTU system is also available as standard cubicle version SINAUT LSA COMPACT 6MB5540. The modules and the bus system have been kept; the rack design and the connection technology, however, have been cost-optimized (fixed rack only and plug connectors). This version is limited to a baseframe plus one extension frame with altogether 33 I/O modules, and a maximum of 5 serial interfaces for telecontrol connection without communication to bay control units or numerical protection units.

Cable-shield communication The minicompact RTU can be delivered in a special version for communication via cable shield (Type 6MB5530-1). It does not need a separate signaling link. The coded voice frequency (9.4 and 9.9 kHz) is coupled to the cable shield with a special ferrite core (35 mm or 100 mm window diameter) as shown in Fig. 174. The special modem for cable-shield communication is integrated in the RTU. Fig. 175 shows as an example the structure of a remote control network for monitoring and control of a local supply network.

SICAM RTU 6MD201 Enhanced Remote Terminal Unit Overview The SICAM RTU Remote Terminal Unit is based on the SIMATIC S7-400, a powerful PLC version of the Siemens product range for industrial automation. The SIMATIC S7400 has been supplemented by the addition of modules and functions so as to provide a flexible, efficient remote terminal unit. Based on worldwide used SIMATIC S7-400, it is possible to add project-specific automation functions to the existing telecontrol functions. The SIMATIC S7-400 System has been expanded to include the following properties: ■ All-round isolation of all connections with 2.5 kV electric strength ■ Heavy duty output contacts (10 A, 150 VDC, 240 AC) on external relay module (type LR with up to 16 command relays)
■ CT and VT graded measuring value ac-
quisition via serially connected numerical transducers SIMEAS Q or T (see page 6/132) ■ Acquisition of short-time event signals with 1 ms resolution and real-time stamping ■ Preprocessing of information acquired (e.g. double indications, metered values) ■ Fail-safe process control (e.g., 1-out-of-n check, switching current check) ■ Secure long-distance data transmission using the IEC 60870-5-101 or SINAUT 8-FW protocol ■ Remote diagnostic capability The open and uniform system structure is illustrated in Fig. 177, showing the essential modules. A variety of SICAM equipment family products are available depending on the different requirements and applications. The individual system modules are described in detail in the sections below.

The SICAM RTU is a modular system. It is suitable for substation sizes from approximately 300 up to 2048 data points. The SICAM RTU consists of the: ■ SICAM S7-400 basic rack with its extension facilities and ■ Any S7-400 CPU (412 to 477, with/without PROFIBUS connection). As standard CPU, the CPU 412 or CPU 413 is used. To supplement the SIMATIC S7-400 modules, telecontrol-specific modules have been developed in order to fulfill the required properties and functions, such as for example electric insulation strength and time resolution. These are the following modules: ■ Power supply – Voltage range from 19 V–72 V DC – 88 V–288 V AC/DC ■ Process input and output modules – Digital input DI (32 inputs) for status indications, counting pulses, bit patterns and transformer tap settings • voltage ranges: 24–60 V DC 110–125 V DC – Analog input AI (32 analog inputs grouped, 16 AIR (analog inputs isolated) for currents (0.5 mA–24 mA) and voltages (0.5 V–10 V) – Command output (32 CO) for commands and digital setpoints • voltage range: 24 –125 V DC – Command release (8 DI, 8 DO) for local inputs and outputs and monitoring of command output circuits • voltage ranges: 24–60 V DC 110–125 V DC ■ Communication module – Telecontrol processor TP1 for communication with the system control center with protocols IEC 60870-5-101 and SINAUT 8-FW and as time signal receivers for DCF77 or GPS reception. The Power Supply and the I/O modules can also be used in SICAM SAS.

Local and Remote Control SICAM RTU – Design
Construction The SICAM RTU is based on the SIMATIC S7-400. The construction of the SICAM RTU is therefore, as is the case with SIMATIC, highly compact, straightforward and simple to operate: ■ All connections are accessible from the front. Therefore, no swivel frame is necessary. ■ The modules are enclosed and therefore extremely rugged. ■ Plugging and unplugging of modules is possible while in operation; therefore maintenance work can be carried out in a minimum of time (reduced MTTR). ■ Direct process connection is effected by means of self-coding front plug connectors of screw-in or crimp design. ■ During configuration, no module slot rules have to be observed; the SICAM RTU permits free module fitting. ■ No forms of setting are necessary on the modules; replacement can be carried out in a minimum of time. Dependent on configuration level and customer requirements, there are two housing variants: ■ a floor-mounting cabinet and ■ a wall-mounting cabinet. Both housing variants are optimized for the SICAM RTU; they are of flexible modular construction. Thus, for example, provision is made for installation of accessories to provide a cost-effective rack system.

SICAM Modules SICAM RTU modules have been developed to be SIMATIC-compatible and can therefore be used in a standard SIMATIC S7-400, for example for the following applications: ■ Acquisition of status indications with a resolution of 1 ms and an accuracy of ± 2 ms ■ Time synchronization of the SIMATIC CPU to within an accuracy of ± 2 ms ■ An analog input module with 32 channels with current or voltage inputs ■ Use of modules with 2.5 kV electric insulation strength in order to save interposing relays The modules are used for example in hydropower plants for acquisition of fault events via digital input with a resolution of 1 ms and relaying them to a power station system, for example via an Industrial Ethernet. The other application is the use of the communication module TP1 in a SIMATIC NET IEC 60870-5-101 gateway. Fig. 182 shows an example of a PROFIBUS gateway.

The SICAM RTU is based on the SIMATIC S7-400. Therefore, all modules of the SIMATIC S7-400 System can be used in a SICAM RTU: For example, a CPU 413-DP with PROFIBUS connection or the communication processor CP 441, e.g. for connection of a Modbus device. If additional functions are to be introduced project-specifically by S7 PLC means, these can be integrated with the aid of the internal API Interface (Application Program Interface). Thus, for example, the data received via the CP 441 can be processed internally and sent via the TP1 to the system control center. The following functions can for example be implemented: ■ Initiate functions by commands from the system control center ■ Derive commands as a function of measured value changes (e.g. load shedding when a frequency drop has been measured) ■ Connection of an operator panel to the serial system interface (Fig. 184a/b) ■ Connection of decentralized peripherals via the PROFIBUS DP

Overview Supplementary to the SICAM RTU, the following small remote terminal units are available for low-level upgrades: ■ SICAM microRTU 6MD203 up to 50 process inputs/outputs ■ SICAM miniRTU 6MD202 up to 300 process inputs/outputs The two remote terminal units are based on the SIMATIC S7-200. Supplementary to the SIMATIC modules, a “SICAM TCM” communication module has been developed for the SICAM miniRTU. The TCM module is installed in a S7-214 housing. The SICAM micro and miniRTUs provide small remote terminal units which handle the process data and communicate by means of an assured IEC 60870-5-101 telecontrol protocol with the system control center. The SICAM miniRTU makes it possible to supplement project-specific functions. Both units possess the following advantages of the SIMATIC S7-200 System in terms of construction: ■ Compact design ■ Quick mounting by snapping onto a hat rail ■ Low power consumption ■ Extensive range of expansion modules – Digital inputs – Relay outputs – Electronic outputs – Analog inputs – Analog outputs ■ Connection of expansion modules by means of plug-in system ■ Connection of process signals by means of screw terminals ■ Automatic recognition of upgrade level

For the SICAM microRTU, it is possible to use an S7-214 or an S8-216 CPU. The PPI interface is used for loading the programs and the parameters and also for communication with the system control center. The standardized transmission protocol IEC 60870-5-101 has been implemented. Unbalanced mode has been chosen as traffic mode because small remote terminal units are generally operated in partyline (that is to say polling) mode. The SICAM microRTU performs the following functions: ■ Acquisition and processing of a maximum of 24 single point items of information ■ Acquisition and processing of metering pulses (maximum 20 Hz) for a maximum of 4 metered values ■ Acquisition of a maximum of 12 measured values ■ Command output as pulse or persistent command for a maximum of 14 digital outputs ■ Transmission of data (priority-controlled) spontaneously or on demand in half duplex mode ■ Transmission rate: 300 – 9600 bit/sec Parameterizing takes place with STEP7 MicroWIN. All parameters are preset; they only have to be adapted slightly. The parameters are loaded locally from the PC. For transmission, there is a gradable V.23 hat-rail-mounted modem with an RS-485 interface. The transmission rate is 1200 bit/sec.

Overview The SICAM miniRTU differs from a SICAM microRTU in the following respects: ■ Volume of data: 300 instead of 50 information points ■ Clock control: messages with time stamp are possible ■ An integrated V.21 modem is available ■ Project-specific additions can be introduced via the API interface The SICAM miniRTU is a small, efficient modular remote terminal unit with a wide range of functions. The SICAM miniRTU can be upgraded from a configuration level of 14 digital inputs up to a medium-sized terminal with a maximum of 300 process points. For the SICAM miniRTU, it is possible to use the S7-200 CPUs 27-214 or S7-216. In addition, the TCM (telecontrol module) communication module is required. The TCM incorporates an RS-232 interface for communication with the system control center; this implements the entire message interchange. The standard transmission protocol is implemented: IEC 60870-5101, unbalanced mode. IEC 60870-5-101 balanced mode and SINAUT 8-FW point-topoint traffic are in preparation. Fig. 186 illustrates a minimum configuration level of a SICAM miniRTU with an S7-214 CPU. Fig. 187 shows in diagrammatic form a maximum configuration level with 3 S7-200 CPUs.

Local and Remote Control SICAM miniRTU
Communication Communication with the system control center is carried out by the SICAM miniRTU with the TCM communicaton module. A gradable V.21 modem is already integrated in the TCM, so that the SICAM miniRTU can be used directly. Other communication characteristics are: ■ Transmission speed of 300 – 9600 bit/ sec. adjustable ■ Mode control with 15 priorities which can be freely assigned ■ Different send lists for: – Spontaneous mode – Polling mode – Cyclic mode Linkage of small remote transmission units generally takes place by means of transmission on demand. The lines with the remote transmission units are compressed with the aid of a data concentrator and are relayed to the system control center. Fig. 188 shows an example of configuration. Rail-mounted modems with RS-232 interface are available for transmission with an external modem: ■ Gradable V.23 modem with 1200 bit/sec transmission speed ■ Dedicated line modem – V.32 modem – with a transmission speed of 9600 bit/ sec.

6 Project-specific expansion options In the SICAM miniRTU, an API interface (Application Program Interface) is available. Project-specific programs can thus be upgraded. Access by the API interface to communication is supported by the system. That is to say, the information from the control center can be processed in the user program; information derived in the user program can be remotely controlled. Examples of this are: ■ Formation of group alarms, ■ Transmitting internally formed measured values or metered values to the control center, ■ Initiating functions by means of commands from the control center, ■ Influencing of alarm processing, for example filtering, relaying via API, ■ Activating PROFIBUS link on an S7-215.

Local and Remote Control SICAM SAS – Overview
SICAM SAS Overview 1 In order to assure security of supply, the substation automation system must be capable in normal operation of real-time acquisition and evaluation of a large volume of individual items of information. In the event of a fault, additional information is required to assist rapid fault diagnosis. Graphic display functions, logs and curve evaluations are aids suitable for this purpose. The SICAM SAS substation control and protection system provides a system solution for efficient implementation of these functions. SICAM SAS is designed as an open-type system which, based on international standards, provides simple interfaces for integration of additional bay control units or new transmission protocols, as well as interfaces for implementation of project-specific automation functions.

Local and Remote Control SICAM SAS – SC Substation Controller
SICAM SC Substation Controller The SICAM SC is an open-type, modular construction telecontrol and substation controller. The specific functions of a telecontrol system are combined with those of a programmable automation system (PLC). Standard functions of the automation system and control and protection-specific applications, such as real-time processing, fail-safe command output or telecontrol functions, combine to form a rugged, future-oriented hardware system. The basis of the SICAM SC is formed by the SIMATIC M7- 400 family of systems. In order to meet the increased requirements of telecontrol and substation control technology for electric insulation strength, you now have at your disposal a wide range of modules and devices to supplement the SIMATIC standard modules. The communication processors of the system support the IEC 60870-5-101, SINAUT 8FW, IEC 60870-5-103, PROFIBUS FMS, PROFIBUS DP and Industrial Ethernet communication protocols.
Hardware
Construction
The hardware of the SICAM Substation Controller is based on the standard modules of the SIMATIC S7/M7- 400 automation system and on additional modules which have been developed for the special requirements of control and protection. The following modules form the basic complement of the SICAM SC: ■ Power Supply ■ SIMATIC M7- 400 CPU (Pentium processor) ■ MCP (Modular Communication Processor) The MCP module is the function module which supports the communication functions, such as telecontrol connection to higher-level system control centers, e.g. with the IEC 60870-5-101 protocol, and serial connection of bay control units by means of the IEC 60870-5-103 protocol. In addition, it is in SICAM SAS the time master, to which can be connected time signal receivers for DCF77 or GPS. Additionally available for the MCP are the XC2 (eXtension Copper 2 interfaces) and XF6 (eXtension Fiber optic 6 interfaces) extension modules for additional communication interfaces to higher-level system control centers and bay control units (IEC 60870-5-103). In addition, the following modules can be used for supplementary functions in the SICAM SC: ■ For central process connection: SICAM I/O modules (see description of the SICAM RTU) and SIMATIC 400 Standard I/O modules (see Siemens Catalog ST 70) ■ For connection of bay control units via Profibus DP and FMS: SIMATIC 400 communication processor modules ■ For connection to SICAM WinCC: SIMATIC 400 modules for Profibus FMS and Industrial Ethernet
Like the SICAM RTU, the SICAM SC is based on the SIMATIC 400. Consequently, the statements on construction of the SICAM RTU are also applicable to the SICAM SC.

Software The bases of the run-time system (SICAM RTC for SAS) in the SICAM SC are to be found both on the M7-CPU and on the MCP module real-time operating systems for event-controlled program execution. Among other things, this assures an essential requirement for control applications: State change of information may not be lost or remain unnoticed in critical situations (→ alarm surge).

System capacity
SICAM SAS fulfills to a very considerable extent the reliability and security requirements imposed on a substation control and protection system. In the case of all electronic devices incorporated in the SAS SICAM System, special attention has been paid to electromagnetic compatibility.
■ Live zero monitoring (4 –20 mA)
The maximum configuration of the SICAM SC substation controller consists of: ■ 1 baseframe with 7 to 11 free module locations, dependent on choice of MCP communication link and ■ Maximum of 6 expansion racks, each with 14 free module locations Thus, you have available a maximum of 95 free module locations which you can equip for example with 95 I/O modules or a further 4 MCP(4) communication assemblies and 75 I/O modules. For connection of bay control units via PROFIBUS FMS, up to 4 CP443-5 base communication processors can be plugged into the baseframe. Each CP443-5 requires one module location. For connection of PROFIBUS DP devices, an interface module is used which is plugged into a module shaft of the CPU module. Connection to Industrial Ethernet can be implemented via the CP443-1 communication processor and will then require one module location. Alternatively, you can also however use the CP1401 interface module which is plugged into a module shaft of the CPU module. Under these conditions, it is possible to implement up to a maximum of 3040 items of information to a SICAM SC via centralized process connection. With the use of bay control units – linked to the SICAM SC via MCP communication assemblies or PROFIBUS – it is possible for up to 10,000 items of information to be managed, for decentralized process connection.

Errors in data transmission due to electromagnetic effects, earth potential differences, ageing of components and other sources of interference and noise on the transmission channels are reliably detected. The safety measures of the protocols provide protection from: ■ Bit and message errors ■ Information loss ■ Unwanted information ■ Separation or interference of assembled items of information Priority-controlled message initialization Messages initiated by events are initialized quickly (priority-controlled).
Command output Safe command output, i.e. ■ Destination monitoring (1-out-of-n) ■ Switching current check ■ Interference voltage monitoring ■ Determination of the coil resistance The SICAM SC system provides the following five operating modes, thus allowing the user to take into account different safety requirements for process output: ■ 1-pole command output 1 ■ 1 /2-pole command output ■ 2-pole command output 1 ■ 1 /2-pole command output with separate command release through CR module ■ 2-pole command output with separate command release through CR module By combining the CO module with the CR module, a single error (in case of 11/2pole command output) in the command output circuit results in the command not being executed. Through the test and monitoring measures provided by the CR module, which make it possible to distribute the command output circuit to two independent modules, high requirements are met.

The variability and expansion capability of a substation control and protection system depends primarily on its outward interfaces. SICAM SAS supports international standards, such as PROFIBUS, the IEC 60870 5-101 telecontrol protocol or the IEC 60870-5-103 relay communication protocol and thus assures optimum flexibility of substation planning. The SICAM communication modules of the SICAM SC are equipped with serial interfaces (parameterizable as RS232 or as RS422/485) and with optical fiber links. They are combined, according to application, to form MCP communication assemblies which consist of the MCP communication processor and XC2 and/or XF expansion modules.

Local and Remote Control SICAM SAS – SC Substation Controller
Telecontrol interfaces Via the serial interfaces of the MCP communication processor and the XC2 expansion modules, one can connect the SICAM SC to a maximum of three higher-level system control centers. The telecontrol interfaces are operated with the IEC 60870-5-101 or SINAUT 8FW transmission protocols and are parameterizable as RS232, RS422/RS485 or optical fiber interfaces.

Bay control units
Design of the SICAM SC is carried out with SICAM plusTOOLS which is based on the SIMATIC basic modules: STEP7, SIMATIC CFC and Borland C/C++.
In the design and parameterizing of subdevice connections, SICAM plusTOOLS accesses databases which describe the interface complement of the devices. Creation of a new protection unit type with IEC 60870-5-103 transmission protocol is made possible by the parameterizer in SICAM plusTOOLS.
Process visualization For visualization and control of the process, SICAM WinCC is used; this is based on SIMATIC WinCC. Expandability SICAM has been designed for a new generation of devices and function modules for the automation of substations in power supply. SICAM integrates complementary and compatible product lines and is the logical continuation of proven, available modules. By virtue of its open system concept, SICAM SAS is adaptable to the growing demands of the future. System expansion and further development are readily possible.

Bay control units
6MB525 Mini Bay Unit
Serial connection of distributed bay control units allows access to extensive detailed information about your switchgear in the substation control and protection system. For this purpose, SICAM SAS offers bay control units with differing scope of information and function. The range extends, according to requirements, from pure bay control units and protection relays on the one hand, to combined devices on the other hand which provide the bay protection and control functions in a single unit. SICAM SAS supports bay control units with IEC 60870-5-103, PROFIBUS FMS and PROFIBUS DP interface.
(see description of SINAUT LSA) This low-end unit with its limited range of information is preferably used in singlebusbar substations. It can be connected via RS485 with IEC 60870-5-103 or via PROFIBUS FMS to the SICAM SC. 7SJ531 Combined Bay Control and Protection Unit (see description of SINAUT LSA and Power System Protection) The 7SJ531 possesses, in addition to protection functions, the facility for controlling a switching device (also remotely). It can be integrated in the SICAM SAS with IEC 60870-5-103 via optical fiber link.

In the SICAM SAS substation automation system, SICAM WinCC is the human-machine interface HMI between the user and the computer-assisted monitoring and control system. For efficient system management, numerous single information items must be displayed quickly and clearly. The state of the substation must be displayed and logged correctly at all times. Important indications, along with measured and metered values of past time periods must be archived in such a way that they are available for specific evaluation in the form of curves or tables at any time. The SICAM WinCC human-machine interface meets these requirements for efficient system management and also provides the user with numerous options for individual design of the system user interface and numerous open interfaces for implementing operation-specific functions. The windowing technique of SICAM WinCC makes it easier to work with. In designing the graphic displays, the user has every degree of freedom and also has the support of a pool of predefined substation automation symbols such as switchgear, transformers or bay devices. SICAM WinCC consists of the WinCC process visualization system and SICAM software components. ■ WinCC WinCC offers standard function modules for graphical display, for messaging, archiving and reporting. Its powerful process interface, fast display refresh and reliable data archiving function assure high availability. S7-PMC serves as a basis for a chronological messaging and archiving of data. ■ SICAM components They consist of: – SICAM symbol library, – SICAM message management expansion, – SICAM wizards, – SICAM processing functions and – SICAM Valpro, (Measured/ Metered Value Processing Unit)
protection systems. One can use them for designing detail images. The symbols are selected from the library and placed in a detail image using the Drag & Drop function. The symbols are dynamized. Thus, for example, there are several different views of a circuit-breaker which visualize the ON, OFF or fault position switching states.

SICAM message management expansion
1
The SICAM message management expansion ensures a chronological messaging and archiving of data. On the basis of S7-PMC, the SICAM Format DLL evaluates the data and assigns the corresponding messages to them. Based on this, a millisecond resolution of all events is given and for every event not only the state of indication itself is available, but also additional information without the need for additional parameterizing effort. For message assignment, the format DLL recurs to the WinCC text libary. You can adapt the texts contained in the text library to meet your project-specific requirements. SICAM wizards The SICAM wizards assist the user in creating a new WinCC project. The following tasks are carried out with help of the wizards: ■ Creating SICAM structure types: The Create SICAM tag structure types wizard helps the user to generate the structure types for structured tags which are necessary in a SICAM system. Structure types are needed for importing tags from SICAM plusTOOLS. ■ Taking over tags from SICAM plusTOOLS: The Import SICAM tags wizard helps to import tags from SICAM plusTOOLS into SICAM WinCC. This function allows the user to visualize information, i.e. to represent it in process diagrams, configured and parameterized with SICAM plusTOOLS. ■ Creating the SICAM message management: The SICAM message management wizard helps the user to generate a message management system under WinCC which meets the specific requirements of a substation automation system. In addition to a message archive, the SICAM message management includes the following templates: event list, alarm list and protection message list. Each of these lists always contains message blocks, message window templates, message line formats, message classes, message sequence reports, layouts and texts.

This function allows the user to report information in the message management system which was configured and parameterized with SICAM plusTOOLS. This function allows the user to visualize information from SICAM plusTOOLS under WinCC, i.e. to use it in process diagrams. ■ Creating the SICAM archiving system: The Create SICAM archives wizard helps generation of an archiving system under WinCC. The SICAM WinCC archiving system consists of: – a sequence archive for measured values and – a sequence archive for metered values. One can import metered values und measured values from SICAM plusTOOLS into this archiving system. ■ Integrating the SICAM symbol library: The Import SICAM libary wizard helps the user to load the SICAM symbol library into the current project. One can use the symbol library for designing individual detail images.

Curve and tabular display of archived measured values and metered values is carried out by means of the SICAM Valpro program. Valpro provides the facility for using archived values for various evaluation purposes, without altering them in the archive. The user decides at the time of evaluation (in a dialog) which values should be displayed in which raster. In addition to the variables to be displayed, he specifies the time range, the color and if necessary the mathematical function to be carried out. One can have totals, averages, maximums, minimums or the power factor formed and displayed. The calculation interval can be individually specified. Stored presets can be altered at any time.

With SICAM plusTOOLS, a versatile and powerful system solution is available, which supports the user efficiently in configuring and parameterizing the SICAM SAS (SICAM Substation Automation System). SICAM plusTOOLS is based on Windows 95 and Windows NT. Thus the user moves within a familiar system environment and can recur to the well-known, convenient functionality of the Windows technique. SICAM plusTOOLS allows a flexible procedure when configuring and parameterizing a station, while providing consequent user guidance at the same time. Plausibility checks allow only operations and combinations which are permissible in the respective context. ■ Permissible input variables are displayed in drop-down lists or scroll boxes. ■ The Drag & Drop function makes it easy to group, separate or move data. ■ Context-sensitive help texts explain the text boxes and the permissible input variables. ■ Copy functions on different levels optimize the configuration procedure. ■ Help texts which are organized according to topics explain the configuration. The SICAM plusTOOLS Software Package The SICAM plusTOOLS configuration system is divided into individual, function-specific applications.

SIMATIC Manager
Hardware Configuration
The SIMATIC Manager is the platform of SICAM plusTOOLS. With the help of the SIMATIC Manager, the user defines and manages the project and calls the individual applications. The project structure is created automatically in the course of the configuration procedure. The data areas are organized in separate containers. In the navigation window of the SIMATIC Manager, the project structure is represented similar to a Windows 95 directory tree. Each container corresponds to a folder on the respective hierarchical level.
The Hardware (HW) Configuration application serves for configuring the modules and their parameters. The configuration is represented as a table on the screen. The user chooses the components from a Hardware Catalog and places them into the hardware configuration window using Drag & Drop or double-clicks. The tabs for parameterizing the modules are already filled with the default values, which can be modified by the user.

ICCP (ISO/IEC 870-6 TASE.2) Link To Control Center (Optional)
Changing requirements The ongoing deregulation of the power supply industry has been creating a competitive environment with new challenges for the utilities: ■ The liberalized production, transmission and distribution of electrical power call for more flexible operation of the power system resulting in more complex control, metering and accounting procedures. ■ The deregulated system structure requires the extension of load and quality of supply monitoring, as well as event and disturbance recording, to control the business processes and to care for liability cases. ■ Operation data that has traditionally been used only within a given utility must now be shared by a number of players in various locations, such as utilities, independent power producers, system operators and metering or billing companies. More effective data acquisition, archiving and communication is therefore needed. ■ Competition requires that costs have to be reduced wherever possible. The optimization of processes has consequently been given high priority. System automation and in particular distribution automation including automatic meter reading and customer load control can therefore be observed as the future trend. The SICAM PCC meets these requirements by integrating modern PC-technology and open communication.

Local and Remote Control SICAM PCC – System Design
A PLC can be added This, of course, is not the only way in which the SICAM PCC may be used in a substation configuration. Fig. 206 illustrates a slightly more complex substation configuration which includes both the SICAM PCC and the SICAM Substation Controller (SC)1). The SICAM Substation Controller is an advanced Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) (see 6/109 and following pages). Open-ness A product is not ”open“ just because its manufacturer decides to publish the specifications of a proprietary communications protocol. A product is really open if it supports standard and de facto industry standard communications. There was a time, not so very long ago, when vendors of substation and control center equipment offered only proprietary solutions. The designer and maintainer of substations was forced to choose among a number of options, many – in fact almost all-of which would force the designer to use a proprietary communications protocol. After the choice, either the future options became very limited or one was forced to deal with the problem of installing protocol gateways. With SICAM, those days are over. SICAM, and specifically the SICAM PCC, are designed with ”open-ness“ as a primary design consideration. Siemens’ goal in designing this product line is to provide the tools and features which enable the user to design and upgrade the substations the way he wants. The sample configuration diagrams shown are not meant to illustrate all the possible configurations using the PCC and other components of the SICAM product line. Rather, they show that the components of the SICAM product line are designed so that users may take a ”building block” approach to designing or upgrading their substations.

PCC At A Glance Platform The SICAM PCC executes on Intel-based hardware running the Microsoft Windows NT operating system (Version 4.0 and above). Siemens chose this platform because it offers an effective combination of low hardware and software cost, ease of use, scalability, flexibility, and easy access to support. Distributed Architecture & Database The SICAM PCC uses a high-performance data distribution subsystem for distribution of real-time data among system components. The data distribution subsystem permits distribution of applications across multiple computers to address performance, physical connectivity and redundancy requirements. This means that if a configuration contains more devices than can physically be connected to a single computer, one can distribute the system across multiple computers. Or, if the applications require more processing power than can be provided by a single computer, one can solve the problem by adding additional computers to the system and distributing the processing load. In designing the PCC, the data distribution subsystem was combined with a standard third-party RDBMS. The PCC architecture uses the RDBMS to do what an RDBMS does best – organize and store data.
Siemens Power Engineering Guide · Transmission and Distribution · 4th Edition
5 The architecture uses the data distribution subsystem to augment the RDBMS to meet those data distribution performance requirements which the RDBMS cannot address. The presence of both the data distribution subsystem and the RDBMS is largely transparent to the average user. However, for designers and programmers who wish to interface to the PCC infrastructure, Siemens publishes full details of the Applications Programming Interface (API) provided by the data distribution system, including all details of the RDBMS data model used by SICAM PCC. DSI (Distributed System Infrastructure) is a simple data distribution switch which operates in conjunction with a standard RDBMS. While DSI does have some characteristics of a database, it lacks certain others, so it is not referred to as a database. DSI allows distributed applications to share data in a consistent, efficient (i.e. high-performance) manner. There are three basic components which make up DSI: ■ A central application called the DSI central server. ■ A collection of interface functions which make up the DSI API. ■ A data model which describes the RDBMS tables used to store the configuration and status information used by DSI and applications which interface to DSI.

The PCC is designed to be an effective integration platform by including support for both modern and legacy communications protocols. The SICAM PCC does several things to simplify the task of interfacing to other systems: ■ The interface to PCC’s data distribution subsystem is fully externalized and documented. All interfaces are available for use by customers or third parties in developing software (including gateways) to interface to the PCC. Siemens provides a Software Development Kit which can automatically generate the basis for a working application, as well as the user interface windows to configure it. PCC’s DB Gateway feature allows you to use familiar RDBMS tools and techniques to exchange data with the PCC. DB Gateway provides a bidirectional mechanism which may be used to insert data into the real-time data distribution system via the RDBMS. That is, one can write an object into the RDBMS using, for example, SQL statements. DB Gateway will retrieve that object from the RDBMS and enter it into the real-time data distribution stream for distribution to other components of the system. Similarly, one can configure DB Gateway to accept data objects from the real-time data distribution stream and write them into the RDBMS. The user can then read them using RDBMS tools and techniques. All of this can be done with almost no knowledge of the internals of the PCC architecture – all one needs to know is which RDBMS table to read and/or which to write. Fig. 208 illustrates the position of Device Master in the architecture. In this picture, it is easy to visualize a protocol module which is isolated from other system components while at the same time has full access to all system services required. ■ Version 2.0 of PCC makes available a set of ActiveX controls which can be embedded into an ActiveX container application. This feature is included as a “proof of concept“ feature to explore the scope of the ability to embed a realtime value from PCC’s data distribution subsystem into a “web” document.

”Enterprise” Protocols
”Legacy“ Protocols
Siemens is the acknowledged leader in delivering ICCP solutions. The PCC’s fullfeatured ICCP implementation allows communication with any system which supports this popular protocol. PCC’s ICCP currently supports Conformance Blocks 1, 2, 5, and 8. Whenever a power system disturbance occurs or even during normal operations, it is very useful to be able to collect a log of changes in one or more data objects. Many modern field devices (e.g. relays, meters, etc.) allow collection of this type of data within the device itself. However, many others do not. PCC’s Sequence of Events Logger option allows collection and storage to the RDBMS of any data objects processed by PCC’s data distribution subsystem. Data may be collected either periodically or ”on event“. Since data are stored into the RDBMS, they may be retrieved for analysis using standard RDBMS tools and techniques.
Perhaps the largest problem the user will tackle in attempting to upgrade and automate existing substations arises from the large number of communications protocols used by existing equipment in those substations. Many of these devices simply will not talk to each other. Many of them will not talk to the control center. Even if a completely new substation is built, one may face this problem because the choice of devices may be limited by the suite of protocols which are supported by the existing SCADA or EMS system. A primary design consideration in the PCC is the ability to support legacy1) protocols. The ability to support these protocols has been enhanced by a PCC feature called Device Master. It allows Siemens (and third parties) to develop protocol modules in much less time than would be required for a traditional system. This means that more protocols can be made available more quickly and at reduced cost.

”Legacy“, when used to refer to communications protocols, is an euphemism for ”old and proprietary”.

Local and Remote Control SICAM PCC – System Design
Data Conditioning
Human-Machine Interface.
The SICAM PCC includes the feature Data Normalization (or simply Normalization) which provides a simplified method by which normalize procedures may be associated with data objects. These normalize procedures perform transformations on data objects as they enter and leave PCC’s data distribution subsystem. The types of transformation which may be performed include (but are not limited to): jitter suppression, deadband calculations, linear transformation, and curve-based transformation. In addition, custom procedures can be developed and added to the system to perform any type of calculation and data transformation. Up to 16 normalization procedures may be concatenated and applied to a single data object. PCC’s user interface provides a simple, intuitive way to create custom normalization procedures and associate normalization procedures with individual data objects or groups of data objects.
Frequently, it is desirable for personnel working in a substation to have access to HMI displays. If an HMI is available in the substation, costs can be reduced by eliminating or reducing the size of local control panels and the wiring associated with them. Additionally, well-designed HMI displays can reduce the risk of error by presenting data and controls in a logical schematic representation – interlocks can be included to prevent certain operations or to ”remind” personnel to follow certain procedures. If an HMI is used in a substation automation and integration system like the PCC, it is important to ensure that the HMI integrates well into the system. The HMI must be integrated in such a way that it does not become a performance ”bottleneck”. The HMI must not be the ”center” of the substation automation architecture. No HMI offers a sufficient level of data distribution performance to allow it to be used as the “center” of the architecture. Another strong consideration in integrating an HMI is to ensure that whoever has the job of configuring the system is not required to enter data a number of times. Nor should the HMI require the user to become a computer programmer. The PCC’s optional HMI Gateway provides a pathway through which data are exchanged between PCC’s data distribution subsystem and the HMI. Point and click methods are used to select data objects which are to be exchanged with the HMI. If one adds, for example, a new meter to the substation and one wants to place some data from that meter on an HMI one-line display, only a few mouse clicks are required to perform the task. Typing the name of a data object is at no time required. Definition of data objects may be performed either via PCC’s user interface or from within the HMI. The recommended HMI is the WinCC product from Siemens. While WinCC is a superior product, it is recognized that some customers have ”standardized” on another product. The Siemens HMI Gateway however is designed to simplify customization to meet these requirements.

The user interface used to configure and operate the PCC is very much influenced by de facto industry standards. Specifically, the user interface has a ”look and feel” established by Microsoft’s Windows 95. The great popularity of Windows 95 made this an easy decision. The choice of a Windows 95 ”look and feel” means that the user interface is familiar to anyone who has used Windows 95 software. The PCC development team has worked with Siemens human factors engineers to make the user interface as intuitive as possible. The PCC’s user interface is divided into two parts: ■ User Interface for Configuration, also called the PCC Configuration Manager. ■ User Interface for Operation, also called the PCC Operations Manager.
6/122
User Interface for Configuration
The navigation window has four elements:
The PCC user interface is started just like any other Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0 program: 1. Click on the Start button of the taskbar. 2. Select Programs from the menu which appears. 3. Select the SICAM PCC folder from the menu which then appears. 4. Double-click on SICAM PCC. Now a window appears like shown in Fig. 209. It looks like the Windows Explorer of Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0. On the left is a navigation window. At the top is a menu bar and a tool bar. The navigation window can be undocked and then resized or moved around on your screen.
■ A Systems folder: By opening this fold-
er, one sees an icon for each computer in the PCC configuration. ■ An Interfaces folder: By opening this folder, one sees the interfaces which are configured on the PCC. ■ A Normalization folder: By opening this folder, one is able to create custom normalize procedures. ■ A Tools icon: By opening this, one sees a number of tools which may be used in configuration mode. Fig. 210 illustrates the PCC main window (configuration mode) with several folders open. In this case, the system is a distributed configuration with two computers.

Local and Remote Control SICAM PCC – User Interface
When the user wishes to work with an interface or device, it is done by double-clicking on the device he wishes to work with. For example, Fig. 211 shows the PCC user interface after double-clicking on Meter1 (a relay which speaks the DNP 3.0 protocol). As one can see in this illustration, a new window has appeared on the righthand side of the PCC main window. In this case, the new window contains a tabbed display which may be used to select and rename data objects from Meter1.

If a mistake is made…

The user can change interface and device parameters by double-clicking on the appropriate folders and / or icons. For example, by a double-click on the icon for a device, windows appear which are almost identical to those used to initially configure the device. By working with these windows, one can make any necessary changes to the PCC configuration.

Fig. 211: Working with an Existing Device

User Interface for Operation The user interface for operation is very much like what has already been shown. One can switch between two modes by clicking on toolbar buttons:
6 selects configuration mode. selects operational mode.
7 The user interface in operational mode looks like the illustration in Fig. 212. Navigation in operational mode is just like configuration mode. The items displayed on the navigation tree are very similar. ■ Operations Manager: By double-clicking on this, the Operations Manager is opened which allows the user to view and control the status of the software and devices which make up the PCC system. ■ Event Log: This is a tool which opens the Windows NT event log viewer. It is used to examine messages which PCC software places in the event log. ■ SCADA Value Viewer: This is a tool which allows the user to examine data which is being distributed by PCC’s data distribution subsystem. Using this tool, one can verify that changes which occur in a device are being correctly communicated throughout the system.

9 Fig. 212: User Interface (Operation Mode)
■ Generic Value Viewer: This is a tool
which allows the user to view details of complex data types used within PCC. Like the SCADA Value Viewer, it can also be used to view data being distributed by PCC’s data distribution subsystem. It can also be used to introduce manual changes in data for debugging, testing, and checkout.
Siemens Power Engineering Guide · Transmission and Distribution · 4th Edition
The PCC’s Operations Manager displays are built automatically during system configuration. The configuration mode to add a new interface or device will appear on the Operations Manager display the next time the Operations Manager is started. For those who want to customize their display, the PCC user interface provides an interactive tool for customizing colors and text on status indicators.

The example shows the application of SICAM PCC to a large industrial power supply system with distributed substations. (Fig. 213) Remote substation 1 has been built completely new. In the existing substation 2 only the secondary equipment has been refurbished. Control of both substations takes place at the operator workstation in substation 2. The operator workstation in substation 2 is only used in special cases for local control (maintenance, emergency control). Substation 1:

7
Consists of two half-bars, each with 2 incoming cable bays and 8 outgoing feeder bays. The incoming feeder bays are all equipped with a bay control unit 6MD63 for command output, data acquisition and local bay control. In addition, cable differential protection 7SD600 and overcurrent protection relays 7SJ600 are also provided. The outgoing feeders each have a combined protection and control relay 7SJ63, providing overcurrent protection and bayrelated measuring, data acquisition and control functions. The SICAM PCC station serves in this substation predominantly as data concentrator and communication node for the distributed bay units. The connection of the bay units is established by a copper-based multi-drop link (RS 485 bus) according to the IEC 870-5-103 standard. Substation 2:

10
Combined protection and control relays 7SJ63 are used in this substation in all feeder bays. Connection to the substation control system SICAM PCC is again established with the wired RS485-bus as in substation 1. The SICAM PCC, located in the control room of this substation, is designed as a full server and uses WinCC as operating and monitoring tool. The data concentrator SICAM PCC of substation 1 is connected to this common SICAM PCC control station in substation 2 via an optical fiber network using the network-capable protocol IEC 60870-6 TASE.2.

This configuration provides numerous facilities for expansion. Thus, for example, it is possible to expand bays in each of the remote stations and to link the devices on the bay level necessary for protection and control via Profibus or IEC 60 870-5-103 to the existing PCC. Additional devices can also be connected to the control room PCC. For expansion of a complete remote station, it is possible for example to use a further Device Interface Processor as SICAM PCC, to which in turn devices on the bay level are connected. For expansion of the operating and monitoring function, it is possible, instead of the Single-User WinCC System, to use for example a WinCC Client Server System with several operator terminals. This system offers redundancy as an option.

Power Quality Measuring, Recording, Compensation
Introduction For more than 100 years, electrical energy has been a product, measured, for example, in kilowatt-hours, and its value was determined by the amount of energy supplied. In addition, the time of day could be considered in the price calculation (cheap night current, expensive peak time tariffs) and agreements could be made on the maximum and minimum power consumption within defined periods. The latest development shows an increased tendency to include the aspect of voltage quality into the purchase orders and cost calculations. Previously, the term “quality” was associated mainly with the reliable availability of energy and the prevention of major deviations from the rated voltage. Over the last few years, however, the term of voltage quality has gained a completely new significance. On the one hand, devices have become more and more sensitive and depend on the adherence to certain limit values in voltage, frequency and waveshape; on the other hand, these quantities are increasingly affected by extreme load variations (e.g. in steelworks) and non-linear consumers (electronic devices, fluorescent lamps). Power Quality standards The specific characteristics of supply voltage have been defined in standards which are used to determine the level of quality with reference to ■ frequency ■ voltage level ■ waveshape ■ symmetry of the three phase voltages. These characteristics are permanently influenced by accidental changes resulting from load variations, disturbances from other machines and by the occurrence of insulation faults. In contrast to usual commodity trade, the quality of voltage depends not only on the individual supplier but, to an even larger degree, on the customers.
The IEC series 1000 and the standards IEEE 519 and EN 50160 describe the compatibility level required by equipment connected to the network, as well as the limits of emissions from these devices. This requires the use of suitable measuring instruments in order to verify compliance with the limits defined for the individual characteristics as laid down in the relevant standards. If these limit values are exceeded, the polluter may be requested to provide for corrective action.

3 Competitive advantage though power quality In addition to the requirements stated in standards, the liberalization of the energy markets forces the utilities to make themselves stand out against their competitors, to offer energy at lower prices and to take cost-saving measures. These demands result in the following consequences for the supplier: ■ The energy tariffs will have to reflect the quality supplied. ■ Customers polluting the network with negative effects on power quality will have to expect higher power rates – “polluter-must-pay” principle. ■ Cost saving through network planning and distribution is different from today’s practice in network systems, which is oriented towards the customers with the highest power requirements. The significant aspect for the customer is that non-satisfying quality and availability of power supply may cause production losses resulting in high costs or leading to poor product quality. Examples are in particular ■ Semiconductor industry ■ Paper industry ■ Automotive industry (welding processes) ■ Industries with high energy requirements Siemens offers a wide range of products including different types of recording equipment, as well as systems for active quality improvement.

Configuration and adjustment With the help of a personal computer connected to the serial interface, the type of network, the measurands and the output signals can be configured to suit the individual situation. The SIMEAS PAR software program enables easy adjustment of the devices to different requirements. Since only one type needs to be kept on stock, the user can benefit from the advantages of reduced storage costs and easier project planning and ordering procedures. The software also supports and facilitates the adjustment of the transducers.

Bus operation with IEC protocol The transducer is suitable for the acquisition of up to 43 measurands and for the monitoring of up to 39 measurands. With three analog outputs and one contact output only part of these data can be transferred. With the help of the RS 485 serial interface which uses the IEC 60 870-5-103 protocol, however, any number of measured data can be transmitted to a central unit (e.g. LSA or PC). As this protocol restricts the number of data units to 9 or 16 measuring points, the function parameters for file transfer can be assigned in such a way as to bypass this restriction and to load any desired number of data.

SIMEAS T PAR parameterization software Description By means of the SIMEAS T PAR software, SIMEAS T transducers with an RS232 or an RS485 interface can be parameterized or calibrated swiftly and easily. Measured quantities can be displayed on the PC online via a graphical meter or can be recorded and stored over a period of up to one week. SIMEAS T PAR was designed for installation on a commercially available PC or laptop with the MS-DOS operating system. It is operated via the MS-Windows V3.1 or Windows 95 graphical user interface by PC mouse and keyboard. Operating instructions can be created by printing the ”Help“ file. Communication with the transducer is achieved by means of a cable (optionally available) connected via the interface that is available on every PC or laptop. For units featuring an RS232 interface, use the connecting cable 7KG6051-8BA or, for units featuring an RS485 interface, use the converter 7KG6051-8EB/EC. Three mutually independent program sections can be called up.

Parameterization
Features
Calibration
Parameterization serves to set the transducer to the required measured quantities, measuring ranges and output signals etc. Users are able to parameterize the transducer themselves in only a few steps. Entry of the data in the windows provided is clear and simple, supported with ”Help“ windows. Parameterization is also possible without the transducer. After storage of the data under a separate name, the transducers can be adjusted with the ”Send file“ command. They can also be reparameterized online during operation.
■ Extremely simple and straightforward
As the transducer features neither setting potentiometers nor other hardware controls, it is calibrated easily by means of the SIMEAS T PARA software, by selection of the ”Calibrate“ function. Generally, all the transducers are already calibrated and factory-set when delivered. Recalibration of the transducers is normally only necessary after repairs or in the event of readjustment. It goes without saying that the windows and graphical characteristics displayed in the ”Calibrate“ program can be operated with ease. Here also, the test setup and explanations of how to operate the programm are provided in ”Help“ windows.

1000√ 3, 110√ 3, 200√ 3. The devices can be pre-configured at the factory according to customer requirements or configuration can be performed by the customer himself. The latter possibility facilitates and considerably reduces the customer’s expense for storage and spare parts service. All usual variants of connection (two, three or fourwire systems, constant/balanced or any/ unbalanced load 16 2/3, 50, 60 Hz) can be configured according to individual requirements. Please note that two different types are available which differ in their types of interface: V.28 (RS 232C) and RS 458. The standard interface (V.28) is used for configuration. It enables loading of the measured values to a personal computer, whereby only one transducer can be connected to a computer. Both versions are operated with the SIMEAS PAR software. The RS 485 enables connection to a bus, i.e. up to 31 transducers can be connected to a central device (e.g. PC) simultaneously. Data transmission is based on IEC 60 870-5-103 protocol. The type of power supply is to be specified when ordering, either 24..60 V DC or 100..230 V AC/DC. Please note that analog output 1 and the serial interface use the same potential and can be operated simultaneously only under certain conditions.

The SIMEAS N Quality Recorder SIMEAS N is a measuring and recording device which is used to monitor all characteristics referring to the voltage quality in three-phase systems in compliance with the requirements stated in the EN 50160 and IEC 1000 Standards. Application Medium and low-voltage systems, laboratories, test bays. Portable device for mobile use. Functions Device for network quality measurement. The measurands and operands are continuously recorded over definable intervals; in case of limit violations, the values will be averaged. This enables the recording of all characteristics relevant to voltage quality. In addition, this multi-purpose device can be used for general measurement tasks in the field of AC power engineering. Special features Comprehensive measuring functions. A lockable cover protects the terminals against accidental contact. The operator access can be password-protected. Clamp-on probes with an error correction function facilitate connection. A back-up battery stores the measured data in case of voltage failure. The integrated battery-backed real-time clock will be usable until the year 2097. Output of the measured values via integrated thermal printer, floppy disk or serial interface. Measuring inputs ■ 4 voltage inputs, 0–460 V, ■ 3 of these inputs with additional transient
acquisition ± 2650 Vpeak at a sampling rate of 2 MHz, ■ 4 voltage/current inputs, voltage 0–460 V/clamp-on probe or transducer.

1 input for trigger signal, 1 contact as alarm output, 1 integrated thermal printer, 1 3.5" floppy disk drive, 1.44 MB for parameters and data storage, ■ 1 serial interface type RS 232C (V.24) for connection to a personal computer for configuration and data transmission.
Continuous measurement without storage roughly corresponds to the function of a multimeter. The selected values to be measured are continuously displayed and the whole screen content including the graphic illustrations can be printed on the integrated thermal printer by key command. This operating mode is used to check correct connection of the device and is suitable for general measurement tasks. Monitoring of the network quality is effected by continuously calculating and storing the mean values of the measured quantities. In the storage mode, the averaging interval can be configured individually from one period of the system voltage up to several months. Two types of storage modes can be selected, either linear mode (stops when the memory is full) or overwrite mode (the oldest data will be overwritten by the new information). With the help of the OSCOP Q program, the measuring data can be transmitted to a personal computer for detailed analysis.

7 Fault Recording (DFR) This function is used for the continuous monitoring of the AC voltages and currents, binary signals and direct voltages or currents with a high time resolution. If a fault event, e.g. a short-circuit, occurs, the specific fault will be registered including its history. The recorded data are then archived and can either be printed directly in the form of graphics or be transferred to a diagnosis system which can, for example, be used to identify the fault location.

Fault detection is effected with the help of trigger functions. With analog quantities this refers to ■ exceeding the limit values for voltage, current and unbalanced load (positive and negative phase sequence system). ■ falling below the limit values for voltage, current and unbalanced load (positive and negative phase sequence system). ■ limit values for sudden changes in up or downward direction.

Power Quality Measuring and Recording
Logical triggers Logical triggers can be defined by combining any types of trigger event (analog or binary). They are used to avoid undesired recording by increasing the selectivity of the trigger function. The device can distinguish between different causes of a fault, e.g. between a voltage dip caused by a short-circuit (low voltage, high current) which needs to be recorded, and the disconnection of a feeder (voltage low, current low) which does not need to be recorded. Sequential control An intelligent logic operation is used to make sure that each record refers to the actual duration of the fault event. This is to prevent continuous violation of a limit value (e.g. undervoltage) from causing permanent recording and blocking of the device. Analog measurands 16-bit resolution for voltages and DC quantities and 2 x 16-bit resolution for AC voltages. The sampling frequency is 256 times the period length, i.e. 12.8 kHz at 50 Hz and 15.36 kHz at 60 Hz for each channel. A new current transformer concept enables a measuring range between 0.5 mA and 400 A r.m.s. with tolerances of <0.2% at <7 Ar.m.s. and <1% at >7 Ar.m.s. Furthermore, direct current is registered in the range above 7 A; this enables a true image of the transient DC component in the short-circuit current.
In single-phase and three-phase systems, the following measurands are recorded: ■ R.m.s. values of voltages and currents ■ Active power, phase-segregated and overall ■ Reactive power, phase-segregated and overall (displacement or total reactive power) ■ Power factor, phase-segregated and overall ■ Frequency ■ Positive and negative sequence voltage and current ■ Weighted and unweighted total harmonic distortion (THD) ■ 5 th to 50 th harmonics (depending on the averaging time) ■ DC signals, e.g. from transducers Depending on the individual network configuration, a three or four-wire connection is used. Frequency/Power Recording (FPR)
Sequence of Event (SOE) Recording Each status change occurring at the binary inputs is registered with a resolution of 0.5 ms and is then provided with a time stamp indicating the time information from the year down to the millisecond. 200 status changes per second can be stored for each group of 32 inputs. The mass memory of the device can be configured according to requirements (a 5 MB memory, for example, enables the storage of approx. 120,000 status changes). Modules for signal voltages between 24 and 250 V are available. The time-synchronous output enables the combined representation with analog curves, e.g. of alarm and command signals together with the course of relay voltages and currents. With the help of the OSCOP P program, the event signals can however also be displayed in the form of a text list in chronological order. The use of a separate sequence of event recorder will no longer be required.
This function uses the same principle as a fault recorder. It continuously monitors the gradient of the frequency and/or power of one or more three-phase feeders. If major deviations are detected, e.g. caused by the outage of a power plant or when great loads are applied, the profile of the measurands will be recorded including their history. The recorder is also used for the registration of power swings.

The OSCOP P software package is suitable for use in personal computers provided with the operating systems MS WINDOWS 95/98 or WINDOWS NT. It is used for remote transmission, evaluation and archiving (database system) of the data received from a SIMEAS R or OSCILLOSTORE and from digital protection devices. The program includes a parameterization function for remote configuration of SIMEAS R and OSCILLOSTORE units. The program enables fully-automated data transmission of all recorded events from the acquisition units to one or more evaluation stations via dedicated line, switched line or a network; the received data can then be immediately displayed on a monitor and/or printed (Fig. 249). The OSCOP P program is provided with a very convenient graphical evaluation program for the creation of a time diagram with the curve profiles, diagrams of the r.m.s. values or vector diagrams (Fig. 252).
The individual diagrams can, of course, be adjusted to individual requirements with the help of variable scaling and zoom functions. Records from different devices can be combined in one diagram. The different quantities measured can be immediately calculated by marking a specific point in a diagram with the cursor (impedance, reactance, active and reactive power, harmonics, peak value, r.m.s. value, symmetry, etc.). Additional diagnosis modules can be used to perform an automatic analysis of fault events and to identify the fault location. The program also supports server/client structures.
Load Dispatch Center
The secondary components of high or medium-voltage systems can either be accommodated in a central relay room or in the feeder dedicated low-voltage compartments of switchgear panels. For this reason, the SIMEAS R system has been designed in such a way as to allow both centralized or decentralized installation. The acquisition unit can be delivered in two different widths, either 1/2 19" or 19" (full width). The first version is favorable if measurands of only one feeder are to be considered (8 analog and 16 binary signals). This often applies to high-voltage plants where each feeder is provided with an extra relay kiosk for the secondary equipment. In all other cases, the full-width version of 19" is more economical, since it enables the processing of up to 32 analog and 64 binary signals. The modular structure with a variety of interface modules (DAUs) provides a maximum of flexibility. The number of DAUs which can be integrated in the acquisition system is unlimited.

With the help of a DAKON, several devices can be interlinked and automatically controlled. In addition, digital protection devices of different make can be connected to the DAKON. The voltage inputs are designed for direct connection to low-voltage networks or to low-voltage transformers. Current inputs are suitable for direct connection to current transformers (IN = 1 or 5 A). All inputs comply with the relevant requirements for protection devices acc. to IEC 60 255. The binary inputs are connected to floating contacts. Data transmission is preferably effected via telephone network or WAN (Wide Area Network). If more than one SIMEAS R is installed, we recommend the use of a DAKON (data concentrator). The DAKON creates connection with the OSCOP P evaluation program, e.g. via the telephone network. Moreover, the DAKON automatically collects all information registered by the devices connected and stores these data on a decentralized basis, e.g. in the substation. The DAKON performs a great variety of different functions, e.g. it supports the automatic fax transmission of the data. A database management system distributes the recorded data to different stations either automatically or on special command.

Many consumers of electrical energy (transformers, engines, fluorescent lamps) may cause a number of different problems: reactive displacement power, non-linear loads (rectifiers, transformers), resulting in distorted waveshapes. Harmonics are generated and, finally, an unbalanced load at the three phases leads to increased apparent power and thus to increased power consumption. This is accompanied by higher conduction losses, which require the installation of lines and operating equipment suitable for higher capacities and at higher costs than actually necessary. The cost for power rates in relation to the apparent power and distortion should also be considered. In many cases it is favorable to perform compensation of the undesired components. Siemens offers two different systems for the compensation of reactive power and of harmonics – SIPCON T and SIPCON DVR/ DSTATCOM – both suitable for three-phase LV systems up to a rated voltage of 690 V. The latter system is available in designs also capable of compensating short-term voltage dips and surges, as well as load unbalances. ■ SIPCON T Passive systems using switched capacitors or capacitors with permanent wiring. ■ SIPCON DVR / DSTATCOM Active systems using IGBT converters for quick and continuous operation. The use of SIPCON can enable energy suppliers worldwide to provide the end consumer with distinctive quality of supply. As it is now possible with this technology to supply ”Premium Energy“, an energy supplier can formulate differing tariffs for his product – electrical energy – so that he will stand out from his competitors.
9
For industry, especially in the case of complex manufacturing processes (such as for example in the semiconductor industry) ”Premium Energy“ is an absolute necessity. SIPCON is capable of effectively suppressing system perturbation, such as for example harmonics. Here as well, tariff changes are to be expected worldwide in the future. Investigations in Europe have shown that the increase in harmonics is imposing a particular strain on systems. Such harmonics occur through the operation of variable speed drives, of rectifiers – for example in electroplating – and of induction furnaces or wind power plants. In private houses, the principal loads are singlephase, such as TV sets and personal computers. With the aid of selective recording of weaknesses in the electrical system and subsequent use of the SIPCON Power Conditioner, it will be possible to improve system loading and to significantly rationalize the high capital investment necessary for system expansion.

Power Quality Passive Compensation – Power Factor Correction
The SIPCON T Passive Filters and Compensation Systems
Under unfavorable conditions, adherence to this rule may lead to a power factor smaller than 0.9. In this case, centralized correction should be performed additionally.
All consumers based on an electromagnetic operation principle (e.g. motors, transformers, fluorescent lamps with series reactors) require a lagging reactive power. This leads to an increase in the amount of apparent power and consequently in current. The supply of reactive power from the mains leads to additional load applied to the operating equipment which, as a result, needs to be configured for higher capacities than actually required. The higher current is accompanied by an increased power loss. However, the required reactive power can also be generated close to the consumer with the help of capacitors which prevent the above mentioned disadvantages. When selecting the capacity it is general practice to calculate with a power factor of 0.9 or higher. Compensation can be effected according to three different principles: individual correction, group correction and centralized correction.
Group Correction
Individual Correction This type of compensation is reasonable for consumers with high capacities, constant load and long operating times. (Fig. 255). ■ The capacitor is installed close to the operating equipment. The lower current flows already in the line from the busbar to the consumer. ■ The capacitor and the consumer are turned on and off together; an additional switch is not required. When selecting the type of capacitors please note that in the case of induction motors, the reactive power supplied by the capacitor must not exceed approx. 90% of the motor reactive power in idle operation. Otherwise, disconnection might cause selfexcitation by the resonance frequency, since the motor and the capacitor form a resonant circuit. This effect may lead to high overvoltages at the terminals and affect the insulation of the operating equipment. As a general rule, the following values should be considered for the capacitor: ■ Approx. 35% of the motor power at ≥ 40 kW, ■ Approx. 40% of the motor power from 20 to 39 kW, ■ Approx. 50% of the motor power at < 20 kW.
Individual correction
1
A group of consumers, e.g. motors or fluorescent lamps, operated by one common switch, can be compensated with one single capacitor (Fig. 256).
2
Centralized Correction The solution for correcting the power factor for a great number of small consumers with varying power consumption is a centralized compensation principle (Fig. 257) using switched capacitor modules and a controller. The low losses of the capacitors allows them to be integrated directly in the switchboards or distributors. A programmable controller is used to monitor the power factor and to switch the capacitors according to the reactive-power flow. The devices for group correction differ in their power and in their number of switching steps. For example, a unit with 250 kVA can be switched in steps of 50 kVA. We recommend the use of units suitable for switching between five and twelve steps.

The centralized correction principle is effected with the help of a controller. This unit is designed for panel mounting (front frame dimensions 144 x 144 mm according to DIN) in the door of the compensation equipment. It is connected to L1, L2 and L3 of the mains voltage; the current is taken from a current transformer in L1 rated 1 A or 5 A. All capacitor modules connected are switched stepwise in such a way as to enable best approximation to the setpoint value of the power factor. Defined waiting periods prevent excessive switching operations and ensure that the capacitor will be discharged properly before the next connection. Two setpoints (cos ϕ1 and cos ϕ2) can be specified separately to enable different modes for day and night time. Each capacitor module is operated by contactors which are controlled by means of six contacts. A further contact is used for error indication. One input for a floating contact is used to select one of the two setpoints for the power factor. Apart from the control function, the device also offers a great amount of information on the status of the supply system. It shows: ■ Setpoint cos ϕ1, ■ Setpoint cos ϕ2 (e.g. night operation), ■ Line current, ■ Voltages, ■ Active power in kW, ■ Apparent power in kVA, ■ Actual reactive power in kvar, ■ Deviation of the reactive power from the setpoint value, ■ Reactive power of the activated capacitors, ■ Harmonics of voltage U5, ■ Harmonics of voltage U7, ■ Harmonics of voltage U11, ■ Harmonics of current U5, ■ Harmonics of current U7, ■ Harmonics of current U11. A fiber-optic interface is accessible at the rear of the device. On request, a cable suitable for the conversion of optical pulses into RS 232C (V.2) signals can be supplied. This cable enables connection to a personal computer which can be used to program the controller and to read out parameters, as well as the measured values.

Power Quality Passive Compensation – Power Factor Control
Selecting the Capacitor Power When defining the capacitor power for a system, the active power P and the power factor cos ϕ1 of the system have to be considered. In order to upgrade cos ϕ1 to cos ϕ2, the following applies to the power QC of the capacitor:
QC = Pa·(tan ϕ1 – tan ϕ2) Fig. 261
The diagram in Fig. 259 shows how the apparent power S1 – caused by active power Pa and reactive power Q1 – is reduced to the value S2 by the capacitor power QC. When taking into account that the current is proportional to the apparent power, whereby the loss caused by the current increases by the power of two, the saving is remarkable. This result is possibly supported by a lower energy tariff to be paid. With systems in the planning stage we can assume that the reactive load is caused mainly by induction motors. These motors operate with an average power factor of ≥ 0.7. Increasing the power factor to 0.9 requires a capacitor power of approx. 50% of the active power. In present industrial plants, the required capacitor power can be determined on the basis of the energy bill, provided the plant is equipped with an active and reactive energy meter.

If no reactive energy meters are installed, the required data can be determined with the help of a reactive power recorder.
Correction of the Power Factor in Networks with Harmonics Consumers with non-linear resistors, i.e. with non-sinusoidal power consumption, cause a distorted voltage waveshape. However, all waveshapes are made up of sine curves the frequencies of which are integer multiples of the system frequency – the harmonics. When using capacitors for power factor correction, the capacity of these capacitors and the inductivity of the network (supplying transformer) form a series resonant circuit. The two impedances of the resonance frequency are the same and cancel each other out; the relatively low active resistance, however, causes current peaks which may possibly lead to the tripping of protection devices. This may occur if the resonance frequency equals or is close to the frequency of a present harmonic. This effect can be corrected by the use of capacitor units equipped with an inductor. These inductors are designed in such a way that the resonance frequency in combination with the network inductivity falls below the fifth harmonic. With all higher harmonics, the capacitor unit is then inductive which excludes the generation of resonances. We recommend use of these inductor-capacitor units in all cases where more than 20% of the power is caused by harmonicsgenerating equipment. Compensation in Networks with Ripple Control Ripple control is effected by superimposing the network voltage with signals of a frequency between 160 and 1350 Hz. Since the capacitor conductance is rising in a linear manner in relation to the frequency, these signals can be practically shortcircuited. For this reason, the influence of the compensation measures should be considered and, if inadmissible, it should be corrected. VDEW (German Utility Board) has issued a recommendation on this subject, where the impedance factor α has been defined as the ratio of the network impedance to that of the compensation equipment at the frequency of the ripple control signal. The practical consequence is that in networks without harmonics and with ripple control frequencies of less than 250 Hz, capacitors without inductors can be used to correct the power factor at a capacity of up to 35% of the apparent transformer power. In this case, follow-up measurements can be omitted.

Only in cases with a higher capacitor power should the power supply companies be consulted for an agreement on the use of audio frequency hold-offs. With frequencies greater than 250 Hz, capacitor powers without audio frequency hold-off are admissible only up to 10 kvar. If the capacitor power exceeds this value, audio frequency hold-offs are to be integrated. This refers mainly to parallel resonant circuits which are connected to the capacitors in series and which show a high impedance in their resonance frequency. In networks where harmonics are clearly present, inductor-capacitor units should be used for compensation in any case. The specific type of compensation equipment is to be selected with consideration of the ripple control frequency. Fig. 263 shows some guide values for this procedure.

Compensation of Harmonics The continuous progress in power semiconductor technology has resulted in an increased use of controlled rectifiers and frequency converters, e.g. for variablespeed drives. The common and characteristic feature of these devices is their nonsinusoidal power consumption. This leads to distortion of the network voltage, i.e. it contains harmonics. This distortion is then forced upon other consumers connected to the same network and will also have an effect on higher voltage levels. This disadvantage may lead to operational failures and cause a higher apparent power in the network. In order to keep to the limit values as specified in the EN 50160 standard, filtering may become necessary.

Actually, the values are often slightly higher, since the DC current is not completely smoothed. Harmonics of the fifth, seventh, eleventh and thirteenth order may show amplitudes which need to be reduced; harmonics of a higher order can usually be neglected. The effect of harmonic currents on the system can be reduced considerably by the use of filters. This is effected by generating a series resonant circuit from a capacitor and an inductor which is then adjusted exactly to the corresponding frequency for each harmonic to be absorbed. The two impedances cancel each other out, so that the remaining ohmic resistance is reduced to a negligible amount, compared to the network impedance. The harmonic currents are absorbed to a large extent; the rest remains present in the supply network. This results in a lower voltage distortion and a considerable increase in voltage quality. Referring to the fundamental component, the filters form a capacitive load. This supports the general reactive power compensation. This measure enables the corresponding equipment to be designed for lower capacities (Fig. 265).

A great number of industrial processes based on the supply of electrical energy require a high degree of reliability in power supply, including the constancy of the voltage applied and the waveshape. A shorttime voltage failure or voltage dip may cause the destruction of a component presently being processed in an NC machine or of a whole production lot in the semiconductor, chemical or steel industry. In the automotive and semiconductor industries, for example, the cost incurred by these losses may quickly accumulate to millions of dollars. In return, some production processes cause unacceptable perturbations in the supply network resulting from voltage dips (rolling mills), flickers and asymmetries (steel mills). Correction is possible with the help of active compensation systems. These systems are capable of absorbing harmonics and of compensating voltage dips, reactive power, imbalance in the three-phase system and flicker problems. Their characteristic features go far beyond the capabilities of passive systems (e.g. SIPCON T) and offer great advantages when compared with other applications. The function principle is based on a pulse-width modulated, three-phase bridge-circuit rectifier, as used for example in variable-speed drives. The switching elements – IGBTs (insulated gate bipolar transistors) – are controlled by means of pulses of a certain length and phase angle. These pulses initiate charging and discharging of a capacitor, used as an energy store, at periodical intervals in order to achieve the desired effect of influencing the current flow direction. The control function is performed by means of a microprocessorbased, programmable control unit.

treated independently of each other; the compensation of harmonics has no effect on the power factor and vice versa. The audio frequency ripple control levels remain unaffected. Stepless control avoids sudden changes and enables compensation at any degree of accuracy. Most rapid reaction to load changes with a minimum delay. No overvoltages caused by switching operations. The equipment protects itself against overload. The functions will not be affected by ageing of the power capacitors. The user can re-configure the system at any time; this greatly enhances flexibility, even if the specific tasks have changed.
Network
There are two systems available, the DVR (Dynamic Voltage Restorer) and the DSTATCOM (Distributed Static Compensator) which differ in their specific design and application. DSTATCOM is designed for parallel and the DVR for serial connection. The DSTATCOM is connected to the network between the incoming supply line and the consumer or a group of consumers as shown in Fig. 274. The compensation unit functions as a current source and sink. Correction includes all network characteristics related to the reactive power. The DSTATCOM is used to compensate load reactions on the network. Connection of the DVR requires some more effort, since the system is to be looped into the line (Fig. 275) in series connection. In this connection, the DVR can influence the line current flow which enables a complete compensation of voltage dips as occurring, for example, in the event of short-circuits in the network. The DVR improves the voltage quality of the supply system.

Power Quality Active Compensation
The DSTATCOM Compensation Equipment The DSTATCOM is used to compensate reactive power, harmonics, unbalanced load and flickers caused by a consumer. The current supplied from the network is measured and modified by injecting corrective current in such a way as to prevent violation of the limit values defined for reactive power and for specific harmonics flowing to the supply system; flicker problems can also be reduced. The power required for this compensation is derived from the intermediate-circuit capacitor which is simultaneously re-charged with line current. This line current is also used to correct the network current. Apart from the comparatively low losses, no active power flow occurs. The DSTATCOM reduces or fully compensates perturbations on the network caused by the consumer.

Fig. 276: Load perturbations are compensated
Function Principle The DSTATCOM unit measures the current applied to the supply side and injects a corrective current which compensates load perturbations in the supply system or reduces them to the admissible amount. Since no capacitors are used for correction, the risk of resonances, as with passive systems, can be neglected. Inductors are not required. The signals from the audio frequency ripple control systems are not affected. The use of audio frequency hold-offs can be omitted. The DSTATCOM is available in two control variants: control variant 1 for standard operation and variant 2 for flicker mode.
Fig. 277 shows the basic diagram of the system. The IGBT rectifier bridge is connected to the network via an LCL filter. The impedance of the inductivity causes the pulse-width modulated voltage to impress a current into the network and absorb components of higher frequency. With the help of capacitors, the filter effect will be improved. DC voltage is applied to the intermediate-circuit capacitor which is adjusted according to its specific function. The current is measured on the network side with the result that the correcting functions improve the network current and reduce the load reactions on the system.

This is the standard design used to fulfill the tasks as described below. All functions can be performed simultaneously; they are carried out completely independently and do not affect each other, as occurs when using solutions with passive components (capacitors). DSTATCOM protects itself against overload by limiting the current. The individual tasks can be allocated to different priority levels. In case of overload, the tasks with the lowest priority will then be skipped and the device will use its full capacity for the other tasks. The control functions with the highest priority level will be the last ones remaining active. In this operating mode the DSTATCOM shows excellent dynamic behavior. Within only a few network periods, the system will reach the setpoint value. Operating variant 1 is used for: ■ Absorption of Harmonics A maximum of 4 harmonics up to the 13th order, e.g. 5, 7, 11 and 13, are compensated. The remaining residual current can be adjusted. This option avoids excessive system load, since the increasing effect of correction causes a decline in the internal resistance for the corresponding frequency. In return, the loadcaused current will considerably increase and with it the losses, which might result in a system overload. Therefore, it is reasonable to correct the harmonics only up to the limit specified by the supplier. ■ Reactive Power Compensation Reactive power compensation, i.e. correction of the power factor, is possible for both inductive and capacitive loads. The continuous control principle avoids switching peaks and deviations which might occur when switching from one step to the next. ■ Correction of Unbalanced Load Loads in single and two-phase connection cause voltage imbalance in the three-phase system which may also have negative effects on other consumers. Especially three-phase motors may then be exposed to overheat. An active load can be symmetrized by means of a Steinmetz compensator. While this compensator can correct only constant loads, the SIPCOM is capable of adjusting its correction dynamically to the load, even if this load is changing quickly.
6/156
Fig. 278: Example: SIPCON DSTATCOM LV
Applications of Variant 2 Variable loads require an even quicker reaction than can be realized with variant 1. Therefore, variant 2 has been optimized in such a way as to enable reactive power compensation and load balancing within the shortest time. Possible applications of this variant are: ■ Reduction of flickers Heavy load surges as occurring, for example, in welding machines, presses or during the startup of drives, may cause voltage line drops. Fluorescent lamps react to these voltage drops with variations in their brightness, called flickers. The reactive components of the load current have usually a greater effect in this case. The DSTATCOM can be operated in the flicker mode which provides an optimized reaction within the shortest time in order to reduce these voltage variations to a large extent. The delay time of the system is only 1/60 of the period length and control is completed within one network period.

■ Correction of unbalanced load conditions
The DSTATCOM is suitable to fully correct unbalanced loads of the three phases. Until now, this was achieved with the help of stepwise controlled inductors and capacitors, but now correction can be performed continuously and very precisely. The quick reaction of the DSTATCOM in the flicker mode enables control within only one network period. Consumers in single or two-phase connection, such as welding devices, will no longer affect symmetry.

Power Quality Active Compensation
Information for Project Planning When selecting a DSTATCOM, three aspects should be considered: 1. The nominal voltage. Nominal voltages of 400 V, 525 V, 690 V and for medium-voltage applications up to 20 kV. 2. The supply current ISN required by the DSTATCOM. 3. The type of application. Application can be broken down into three types of different tasks (Fig. 280).
100% use for the filtering of harmonics
1
The whole nominal current of the DSTATCOM can be used for the filtering of harmonics. Reactive power compensation and load balancing can also be performed. This function should be used if the device is mainly used for the filtering of harmonics
50% use for the filtering of harmonics
Only 50% of the DSTATCOM nominal current is used for the filtering of harmonics. The remaining current can be used for reactive power compensation and load balancing.
Flicker mode
Instead of harmonics filtering, the whole nominal current is used to perform highly dynamic reactive power compensation and load balancing. Compared with other control variants, the dynamic behavior is many times better.
Required nominal current
The required nominal current for the DSTATCOM is calculated as the geometrical sum of the required partial currents according to the following formula:

SIPCON can be used for the generation of either capacitive or inductive reactive current. Since the latter can usually be neglected as regards reactive power compensation, the working point of the DSTATCOM can be displaced by means of fixed compensation with the help of traditional compensation (SIPCON T). The power of the DSTATCOM can thus be almost doubled. (Fig. 281).

The DVR unit is used to correct interfering influences from the supply network on the consumer. Short-time and even longer voltage dips, harmonics and unbalanced load may cause considerable damage to sensitive consumers. The DVR has been designed for the compensation of such faults in order to improve the quality in power supply and to prevent production loss and damage.

Function Principle The DVR is used as a voltage source which is integrated in the feeder line between the supply system and the consumer in series connection. The voltage applied to the consumer is measured and if it deviates from the ideal values, the missing components will be injected, so that the consumer voltage remains constant. Apart from the prevention of voltage dips, the DVR is also used to correct overvoltages and unsymmetries. The highly dynamic system is capable of realizing the full compensation of voltage dips within a period of 2 to 3 milliseconds.

Power Quality Active Compensation
The signals from audio frequency ripple control systems are not affected. An audio frequency hold-off is not required. Application The DVR is basically used to improve the quality of the voltage supplied by the power supply system. ■ Correction of voltage variations Remote short-circuits in the supply network occasionally result in voltage dips of different strength and of a duration of only few tenths of a second. In weak networks it may also occur that the usual voltage limits cannot be held over a long period of time or that sensitive consumers require smaller tolerances than offered by the power supply company. With the DVR, single, two and threephase voltage dips up to a certain intensity can be compensated independently of their duration. Additional power is taken from the rectifier part from the network, even if the voltage is too low; this power is then supplied to the series transformer on the load side via the converter. The value of the nominal power of the DVR is reciprocal to the voltages to be corrected. Statistics show that most of the short-time voltage dips have a residual voltage of at least 70 to 80%. The power to be generated by the DVR must be sufficient to compensate the missing part. ■ Compensation of unbalanced load The DVR can be used to inject a positive phase-sequence voltage which enables the compensation of imbalance in the supply voltage in order to avoid excessive temperatures of three-phase machines. ■ Absorption of harmonics The quick-action control of the DVR enables elimination of harmonics by correcting distortions of the voltage waveshape. Since the system can be configured for different tasks, it can also be used to process harmonics of the fifth, seventh, eleventh and thirteenth order, either separately or as a whole.
Information for Project Planning In contrast to the principle of SIPCON DSTATCOM, which corrects the reactive power only for the parallel-connected load, the whole load current flows through the DVR system. Therefore, all preconditions and marginal conditions are to be considered to enable correct configuration. Basically, the following points should be taken into account: ■ Fault characteristics: What kind of network faults are to be corrected (single, two or three-phase) and up to which residual voltage value and fault duration shall correction become effective. ■ Load: Nominal value of the apparent power, type of load, e.g. what types of drive, resistance load, etc. are to be supplied with the help of the DVR. ■ Corrective behavior: What degree of accuracy is to be observed for the voltage on the load side. It will often be sufficient if the DVR supplies only part of the nominal load. To ensure correct project planning, a Siemens expert should be consulted.

Power Network Telecommunication
Introduction Safe, reliable and economical energy supply is also a matter of fast, efficient and reliable transmission of information and data. International operation, automation and computer-controlled optimization of network operations, as well as changing communications requirements and the rapid progress in technology have considerably increased the demands placed on systems and components of communications networks. The same careful planning and organizing of communications networks are as necessary in the power industry as for the generation and distribution of energy itself. Siemens offers a wide range of systems and network elements specifically designed to solve communications problems in this area. All systems and network elements are adapted to one another in such a way that the power industry’s future communications requirements can be satisfied optimally both technically and economically. Siemens is offering advice, planning, production, delivery, installation, operation and training – one source for the customer. Siemens provides expertise and commitment as the complexity of the problem requires. Put your trust in the extensive know-how of our specialists and in the solidity of the internationally proven Siemens communications systems. Flexible network configuration with communications systems and network elements
The gradual transition from analog to digital information networks in the power industry and other privately operated networks requires a great variety of systems and network elements for widely differing uses. Prior to a decision as to which system could be used for the best technical and economical solution, it is first necessary to clarify such requirements as quantity of speech, data and teleprotection channels to be transmitted, length of transmission link, existing transmission media, infrastructure, reliability, etc. Depending on those clarifications the most cost-efficient and best technical solution can be chosen.
All systems and network elements described meet the relevant international recommendations and are designed, developed and manufactured in accordance with the requirements of the quality systems of DIN EN ISO 9001.
As shown in the block diagram below, we are offering systems and network elements for analog transmission as well as systems for digital transmission. The systems and network elements shown in this survey of products have been specially developed for power industry applications and therefore fulfill the requirements with regard to quality and workmanship as well as reliability and security.

For carrier frequency communication via power lines or via communication circuits subject to interference from power lines, the high-frequency currents from and to the PLC terminals must be fed into or tapped from the lines at chosen points without the operating personnel or PLC terminals being exposed to a high-voltage hazard. The PLC terminals are connected to the power line via coupling capacitors or via capacitive voltage transformers and the coupling unit. In order to prevent the PLC currents from flowing to the power switchgear or in other undesired directions (e. g. spur lines), traps (coils) are used, which are rated for the operating and short-circuit currents of the power installation and which involve no significant loss for the power distribution system. The AKE 100 coupling unit described here, together with a high-voltage coupling capacitor, forms a high-pass filter for the required carrier frequencies, whose lower cut-off frequency is determined by the rating of coupling capacitor and the chosen matching ratio. The AKE 100 coupling unit is supplied in four versions and is used for: ■ Phase-to-ground coupling to overhead power lines ■ Phase-to-phase coupling to overhead power lines ■ Phase-to-ground coupling to power cables ■ Phase-to-phase coupling to power cables ■ Intersystem coupling with two phase-to-ground coupling units The coupling units for phase-to-phase coupling are adaptable for use as phaseto-ground coupling units. The versions for phase-to-ground coupling can be retrofitted for phase-to-phase coupling or can be used for intersystem coupling.

LFH 2000 fiber optic transmission system
Flexible network configuration and future communications requirements of private network users, such as power companies, call for universal network elements for transmission in digital communications networks. LFH 2000 has been designed and developed on the basis of extensive experience gained with fiber optic transmission systems in public networks and transmission elements specially developed for such systems. It was tailored to the needs of power companies and other private network users. In its basic version LFH 2000 consists of a 19-inch subrack equipped with an optical line terminating unit TRCV2 and a service channel module. Even in its simplest configuration, LFH 2000 offers various types of interfaces for the transmission of speech and data channels such as: ■ Line interfaces up to 34 Mbit/s ■ So-interface for networking digital telephone systems (e.g. Hicom) ■ QD 2-interface for network management
The incorporation of the SWT 2000 D digital protection data system provides additional functions required for most applications in power companies. The basic version can be optionally equipped with service telephone units, optical line terminating units with higher transmission speeds or with other service channel modules so that the system can be conveniently adapted to the individual transmission requirements. Further network elements may be connected to LFH 2000 via internationally standardized interfaces if the number of required channels and the types of interfaces, i.e. the capacity of the system, have to be extended. Depending on the number and type of the transmission interfaces required, LFH 2000 can be expanded by connecting flexible multiplex systems.
LFH 2000 is provided with internationally standardized interfaces so that transmission systems of other manufacturers which are also equipped with internationally standardized interfaces can communicate with LFH 2000. This also makes it possible to combine LFH 2000 with digital transmission system of other manufacturers. The incorporation of LFH 2000 with the expansion element (e.g. flexible multiplex system) into a network hierarchy with differing transmission rates as currently planned and implemented by private network operator can be easily achieved using the compatible network elements available today. The call for a user-friendly network management can be fulfilled by adding the required hardware and software. LFH 2000 meets the requirements of the power companies and private network operators due to its flexibility, availability of internationally standardized interfaces and compatibility with regard to its incorporation into existing private networks.

SWT 2000 D protection signaling system for digital communication links
1
In comparison with analog protection signaling, the use of digital transmission links provides noise-free communication. Switching operations, atmospheric conditions and other sources of interference on power lines do not impair secure and reliable transmission of protection signals. The SWT 2000 D system for the transmission of protection signals on digital transmission links, mainly fiber optics, provides optimum security and reliability while simultaneously offering the quickest possible transmission speed.
2
3
Uses The SWT 2000 D system is used for fast and secure transmission of one or several independent binary signals for protection and special switching functions in power networks and/or the transmission of serial protection data. The system is avaliable in versions for the transmission of protection data on separate fibers and on 64 kbit/s PCM channels. As an optimized solution between these two possibilities, the system offers transmission of the protection data in the service channel of an optical line termination system (e. g. OLTS, OLTE 8) which ensures maximum independence of the protection data from voice and data transmission despite the common use of fibers in fiber optic cables.

Demand Side Mangement with Ripple Control Systems
1
Applications Ripple control allows a electricity supply utility from control center to remotely control certain consumers on the supply network. Consumers with energy storing capabilities, such as room heating systems, hot water storage systems, air conditioning systems or pumping stations, are particularly suitable for load control purposes.
2
3
Operation and background Audio frequency pulses, which can be encoded for all necessary switching commands, are transmitted via radio or the available low and high voltage lines. More than 3700 ripple control systems and 6 billions receivers are daily in use for several decades, at the facilities of more than 1000 customers in approx. 20 countries.
Ripple Control Center
4 Ripple control Transmitter
5
Components The components of a ripple control system include (Fig. 12): ■ command units in the control center, which issues the switching commands and provides for operating parameter selection and control. ■ transmitters, which generate the audio frequency pulses and coupling devices which feed the signals into the network. ■ receivers to decode the ripple control signals in the distribution network. Customer value The installation of a ripple control system pays off especially quickly in the area of load management by minimizing the costs of generation, import and distribution of the energy that is supplied to customers. It allows investments in energy supply facilities to be drastically reduced. Around 7–30% of the investment required to generate one megawatt of energy will produce an equivalent energy saving if invested in ripple control. Ripple control provides a major help for network operators in observing their contracts with energy producers in the deregulated market (optimization of load curves, observation of energy import schedules, improved utilization of supply networks).

Radio frequency ripple control A joint venture between four major utilities in Germany was founded to provide radio frequency ripple control as a service, making the advantages of ripple control available to utilities without their own transmitters. A central computer system and two long-wave transmitters broadcasts customer signals and, at regular intervals, the exact time and date. The transmitters and central computer system operate redundantly and are controlled by the utilities via DATEX-P.

From Initial Planning to Integrated Solutions Power System Planning – The first step towards economical solutions The first step towards a new, extended or modified network always is a reliable initial planning. No matter if this step involves network analysis, equipment, plant or system design, or the integration of various network components – we have the right know-how to perform any of these tasks. Our services include counselling, power system calculation, planning and design as well as the analysis of networks of all voltage levels. Our innovative approach and experience of many years allow us to meet all the demands of our customers. To assist us in this task, we developed several high-level simulation programs such as NETOMAC®, the world’s most powerful tool for calculating electromagnetic and electromechanical transient response, and SINCAL® for the study of interconnected networks. We also perform on-site measurements and advise our customers about viable options to improve and optimize their power system. With our AC/DC real-time simulator we determine control and protection settings for HVDC systems, FACTS and power quality equipment. A team of experts will always assist you with the installation and commissioning of these devices on site. Decentralized supplies can be planned-in too There is no doubt that in the future some existing large concentrations of generating capacity will be replaced by a larger number of smaller decentralized units. Such units can be powered by wind, biomass or solar light and will soon be generating between 10 and 15% of all the electricity that is needed. Intelligent systems will provide the control and ensure an optimum energy mix. This will make great demands on the planning and implementation of integrated energy management systems that cover the whole distributed network right up to final consumption. Our partnership with you also means providing generation management, load management, delivery management and communications, with consumers too, integrated into the network itself. For this purpose we employ intelligent supply systems, including subsystems such as the NEXUS
meter management system, the DEMS decentralized energy management system, the SINAUT® Spectrum open network control system and the SICAM® system for substation automation.

System Planning
The Power Supply System The power supply system is like a pyramid based on the requirements of consumers and the applications and topped by power generation (Fig. 2). The power system is basically tailored to the needs of consumers. Main characteristics are the wide range of power requirements for the individual consumers from a few kW to several MW, the high number of similar network elements, and the widespread supply areas. These characteristics are the reason for the comparatively high specific costs of the distribution system. Thus, standardization of equipment, use of maintenance-free components, and simplified system configuration have to be considered for an economical system layout. The load situation at the LV level determines the most suitable location of public MV/LV substations and consumer connection stations and, to a high degree, the electrical and geographical configuration of the superposed medium-voltage distribution network as well. HV/MV main substations feeding the medium-voltage distribution system should be located as close as possible to the load centers of the medium-voltage distribution areas. The subtransmission system feeding the main substations is configured according to their location and the location of the bulk power substations of the transmission system. The largely interconnected transmission system, e.g. up to 550 kV, balances the daily and seasonal differences between load requirements and different available generation sources.

Energy Supply ”reliable and economical“
Network calculation
Basic conditions for system design Industry, trade and commerce as well as public services (transportation and communication systems), but not forgetting the private sector (households), depend highly upon a reliable and adequate energy supply of high quality on highly economical terms. In order to achieve these aims, several aspects must be considered (Fig. 3). International and national standards are the basic fundamentals for system design. The choice of system voltage levels and steps is of decisive importance for economical design and operation. Reliability requires adequate dimensioning of components with regard to currentcarrying capacity, short-circuit stress and other relevant parameters. Although interruptions in supply due to environmental influence or faults in components can

never be avoided completely, it has to be assured that the time of interruption is minimized. This is a question of reserve in the system. Different degrees of reserve can be provided depending on the requirements.

System planning and configuration are comparable with architectural work, finding the best technical and economical solution. System planning has therefore to start with a thorough task definition and system analysis of the present status, based on the given quality requirements. Alternative system concepts (system architecture) in several expansion stages ensure the dynamic development of the system, adapted to structure and load requirements of the subposed voltage level. Component design and the infeed from the superposed voltage level have to be considered as well. Technical calculations and economic investigations complete the planning work and are essential for the choice of the solution (Fig. 4). Load Development

The load analysis and estimation in the distribution system are always a matter of distributed loads in a certain area. In urban and rural areas, natural borders – such as rivers, railway lines or major roads and parks or woodlands – allow the whole supply district to be subdivided into a number of subareas. In large commercial complexes, such as airports or university and hospital centers as well as in industrial areas, the load estimation is based on the individual buildings and workshops. Different methods are used for load estimation, such as annual growth rates for existing public areas, load density for new developing residential areas, installed capacity and simultaneity factor for commercial and industrial supply. Distribution Network configuration for power distribution is a matter of visualization and will not be executed successfully without the geographical information of load and source location for public supply and industrial or large building supply as well. Thus, each distribution system must be planned individually. But, for the basic design, a certain standard configuration has proved optimal in terms of ■ Uncomplicated configuration ■ Ease of operation and ■ Economical installation Low-voltage systems are usually operated as open radial networks. Industrial systems in particular contain facilities for transfer to standby. Meshed operation is usually only

Protection
intended for special load situations, such as single loads with great fluctuations or welding systems. Medium-voltage systems are primarily governed in their configuration by the locations of the system and consumer stations to be supplied. The most suitable arrangements for public supplies are open-ring systems or line systems to a remote substation. For industrial and building power supply systems, the higher load densities result in shorter distances between substations. This leads for reasons of economy to the spot system with radial-operated transformers. Industrial power supplies differ from public networks inasmuch as they have a high proportion of motor loads and often inplant generation. Depending on the capacity, units will be connected to normal low-voltage level, intermediate low-voltage level or medium-voltage. The technically and economically optimal configuration of distribution systems calls for wide-ranging practical experience from a large number of different projects and must determine switchgear configuration as well.
The increasing demand from consumers in industry and utility systems and in distribution and transmission networks in terms of power quality imposes strong requirements on system protection. Short tripping times, high functionality, communication, fault recording etc. will be provided by state-ofthe-art numerical relays. To come from pure equipment protection to selective and coordinated system protection, the responsible staff have to be well trained. To get the fastest tripping schemes with the highest selectivity, knowledge of the research and development is necessary. For the optimization of protection under difficult system conditions, online simulation like RTDS systems (Real-Time Digital System Simulators) must be available. Tools Besides great experience and know-how Siemens System Planning applies powerful tools to assist the engineers in their highly responsible work. SINCAL
Transmission The design of transmission systems is to a great extent individually tailored to the location of generating plants and bulk substations feeding the subtransmission system. Planning of high-voltage interconnected networks and transmission networks is a complex matter since they operate over several different voltage levels and mostly meshed systems are used. This and the regional and seasonal difference of generation input and consumer demand as well as the many different sizes of lines, cables and transformers, make load-flow distribution complicated and require detailed calculations of system behavior and the operating conditions of power generation during planning work. As well as the actual planning, the work includes numerous investigations, for instance, to determine the configuration of switchgear and various equipment. This also entails detailed studies of the reactive power, voltage stability, insulation coordination, and testing of the dynamic and transient behavior in the network resul-ting from faults. Connection of neighboring transmission systems via AC/ DC coupling, the implementation of HVDC transmission or superposing a new voltage level need comprehensive planning and investigation work (Fig. 5).
(Siemens Network Calculation) for analysis and planning purposes. Any size of system with line and cable routing is simulated, displayed and evaluated with the SINCAL program system. With the help of an integrated database and easy-to-use graphics system, schematic and topological equivalent systems can be digitized or converted to other systems. NETOMAC (Network Torsion Machine Control) is a program for simulation and optimization of electrical systems which consist of network, machines and closed-loop and openloop control equipment. Two modes of time simulation, instantaneous value mode and stability mode, can be used separately or in combination. The program serves for ■ Simulation of electromechanical and magnetic phenomena ■ Special load-flow calculations ■ Frequency-range analysis ■ Analysis of eigenvalues ■ Simulation of torsional systems ■ Parameter identification ■ Reduction of passive systems ■ Optimization

Measurements
The development and testing of measuring, protection and control equipment of large power supply installations need to take place under real system conditions. Siemens System Planning utilizes a realtime simulator based on a modular principle so that different layouts and structures of the projects can be dealt with flexibly. In the simulator, there are 8 test stations which enable parallel work to be carried out. Six of them are specially designed for testing large power converters such as HVDC and FACTS units. Station 7 has special interfaces for testing system protection schemes. Custom power station 8 is used for Advanced Power Electronic Applications such as SIPCON (Siemens Power Conditioner). In addition to the classic type of simulator with physical elements, realtime injection of transient signals from digital simulations is also possible, e.g. with NETOMAC or RTDS, so that computer and analog simulation complement each other.
Sometimes only field measurements can provide an accurate picture of the actual situation and will be conducted for acquisition of data, clarification of disturbances and verification of functions.
